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 = 9
b = 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 = 9
b = 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 = 9
b = 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 = 9
b = 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 = 9
b = 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 = 9
b = 5

# Output
print(a <= b)

Output:

False
