Comparison Operators
In this lecture we will be learning about Comparison Operators in Python. These operators will allow us to
compare variables and output a Boolean value (True or False).
If you have any sort of background in Math, these operators should be very straight forward.
First we'll present a table of the comparison operators and then work through some examples:
== If the values of two operands are equal, then the (a == b) is not true.
condition becomes true.
> If the value of left operand is greater than the value of (a > b) is not true.
right operand, then condition becomes true.
< If the value of left operand is less than the value of (a < b) is true.
right operand, then condition becomes true.
>= If the value of left operand is greater than or equal to (a >= b) is not true.
the value of right operand, then condition becomes
true.
<= If the value of left operand is less than or equal to the (a <= b) is true.
value of right operand, then condition becomes true.
Equal
In [1]:
2 == 2
Out[1]:
True
In [2]:
1 == 0
Out[2]:
False
Not Equal
In [3]:
2 != 1
Out[3]:
True
In [4]:
2 != 2
Out[4]:
False
Greater Than
In [5]:
2 > 1
Out[5]:
True
In [6]:
2 > 4
Out[6]:
False
Less Than
In [7]:
2 < 4
Out[7]:
True
In [8]:
2 < 1
Out[8]:
False
In [9]:
2 >= 2
Out[9]:
True
In [10]:
2 >= 1
Out[10]:
True
In [11]:
2 <= 2
Out[11]:
True
In [12]:
2 <= 4
Out[12]:
True
Great! Go over each comparison operator to make sure you understand what each one is saying. But
hopefully this was straightforward for you.
