01-Comparison Operators

This document discusses comparison operators in Python. It presents a table of common comparison operators like ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= and describes what each does. It provides examples of using each operator to compare simple values and output Boolean True or False. The comparison operators allow evaluating if two values are equal, not equal, if one is greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to the other.

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:

Table of Comparison Operators


In the table below, a=3 and b=4.

Operator Description Example

== If the values of two operands are equal, then the (a == b) is not true.
condition becomes true.

!= If values of two operands are not equal, then (a != b) is 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.

Let's now work through quick examples of each of these.

Equal

In [1]:

2 == 2

Out[1]:

True

In [2]:

1 == 0

Out[2]:

False

Note that == is a comparison operator, while = is an assignment operator.

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

Greater Than or Equal to

In [9]:

2 >= 2

Out[9]:

True

In [10]:

2 >= 1

Out[10]:

True

Less than or Equal to

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.

Next we will cover chained comparison operators
