Comparison Operator
Comparison operators are used to compare two values. Tests numerical equalities and inequalities between two operands and returns a Boolean value. It returns either True or False according to the condition.
operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
== | If the values of two operands are equal, then the condition becomes true. | a == b |
!= | If values of two operands are not equal, then condition becomes true. | a != b |
> | If the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true | a > b |
< | If the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true | a < b |
>= | If the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true | a >= b |
<= | If the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true | a <= b |

a=int(input())b=int(input())print("a==b?",a==b)print("a!=b?",a!=b)print("a<b?",a<b)print("a>b?",a>b)print("a<=b?",a<=b)print("a>=b?",a>=b)
Output
# a=2 b=3a==b? Falsea!=b? Truea<b? Truea>b? Falsea<=b? Truea>=b? False
