Relational Operators in Python
Relational operators are used for comparing the values. It either returns True or False according to the condition. These operators are also known as Comparison Operators.
| Operator |
Description |
Syntax |
|---|---|---|
|
> |
Greater than: True if the left operand is greater than the right | x > y |
|
< |
Less than: True if the left operand is less than the right | x < y |
|
== |
Equal to: True if both operands are equal | x == y |
|
!= |
Not equal to – True if operands are not equal | x != y |
|
>= |
Greater than or equal to: True if left operand is greater than or equal to the right | x >= y |
|
<= |
Less than or equal to: True if left operand is less than or equal to the right | x <= y |
Now Let’s see each Relational Operator one by one.
1) Greater than: This operator returns True if the left operand is greater than the right operand.
Syntax:
x > y
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a > b) |
Output:
True
2) Less than: This operator returns True if the left operand is less than the right operand.
Syntax:
x < y
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a < b) |
Output:
False
3) Equal to: This operator returns True if both the operands are equal i.e. if both the left and the right operand are equal to each other.
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a == b) |
Output:
False
4) Not equal to: This operator returns True if both the operands are not equal.
Syntax:
x != y
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a != b) |
Output:
True
5) Greater than or equal to: This operator returns True if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
Syntax:
x >= y
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a >= b) |
Output:
True
6) Less than or equal to: This operator returns True if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
Syntax:
x <= y
Example:
Python3
a = 9b = 5 # Output print(a <= b) |
Output:
False
