What are Comparison Operators in Python?
Comparison operators are used to comparing different values in python. Comparison operators evaluate to a boolean value,i.e,True (or) False.
Following are the comparison operators in python:
- ==
- !=
- >
- <
- >=
- <=
== Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x == y)
#False
# returns False because 5 is not equal to 3
!= Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x != y)
#True
# returns True because 5 is not equal to 3
> Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x > y)
#True
# returns True because 5 is greater than 3
< Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x < y)
#False
# returns False because 5 is not less than 3
>= Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x >= y)
#True
# returns True because five is greater, or equal, to 3
<= Operator
x = 5
y = 3
print(x <= y)
#False
# returns False because 5 is neither less than or equal to 3
