1. What are Comparison Operators?<\/h2>\n

Comparison operators<\/strong> are used to compare two values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The result is always:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    True<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    False<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    They help Python make decisions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    2. List of Comparison Operators<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Operator<\/th>\nMeaning<\/th>\nExample<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    ==<\/code><\/td>\nEqual to<\/td>\na == b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    !=<\/code><\/td>\nNot equal to<\/td>\na != b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    ><\/code><\/td>\nGreater than<\/td>\na > b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    <<\/code><\/td>\nLess than<\/td>\na < b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    >=<\/code><\/td>\nGreater than or equal<\/td>\na >= b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    <=<\/code><\/td>\nLess than or equal<\/td>\na <= b<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Equal To (==<\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if two values are the same.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a = 10<\/span>
    \nb = 10<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(a == b)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Output:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    True
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4. Not Equal To (!=<\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if two values are different.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a = 10<\/span>
    \nb = 5<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(a != b)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Output:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    True
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5. Greater Than (><\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if left value is bigger.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a = 15<\/span>
    \nb = 10<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(a > b)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    6. Less Than (<<\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if left value is smaller.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    print<\/span>(a < b)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    7. Greater Than or Equal (>=<\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if value is greater or equal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    age = 18<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(age >= 18<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    8. Less Than or Equal (<=<\/code>)<\/h2>\n

    Checks if value is smaller or equal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    marks = 40<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(marks <= 50<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    9. Comparison with Variables<\/h2>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    x = 20<\/span>
    \ny = 30<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(x == y)
    \nprint<\/span>(x < y)
    \nprint<\/span>(x >= y)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    10. Comparison with User Input<\/h2>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    age = int<\/span>(input<\/span>(\"Enter age: \"<\/span>))<\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(age >= 18<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    11. Comparison in if Statement<\/h2>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    number = 10<\/span><\/p>\n

    if<\/span> number > 5<\/span>:
    \n print<\/span>(\"Number is greater than 5\"<\/span>)
    \nelse<\/span>:
    \n print<\/span>(\"Number is 5 or less\"<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    12. Comparing Strings<\/h2>\n

    Strings can also be compared.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    print<\/span>(\"apple\"<\/span> == \"apple\"<\/span>)
    \nprint<\/span>(\"apple\"<\/span> != \"banana\"<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    13. Common Beginner Mistakes<\/h2>\n

    \u274c Using =<\/code> Instead of ==<\/code><\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    if<\/span> x = 5<\/span>:
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \u2714 Correct:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    if<\/span> x == 5<\/span>:
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \u274c Comparing String with Number<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    age = \"20\"<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(age > 18<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \u2714 Correct:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    age = int<\/span>(\"20\"<\/span>)
    \nprint<\/span>(age > 18<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    14. Simple Practice Examples<\/h2>\n

    Example 1: Pass or Fail<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    marks = 35<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(marks >= 40<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Example 2: Check Two Numbers<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a = 5<\/span>
    \nb = 10<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(a > b)
    \nprint<\/span>(a == b)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Example 3: Password Match<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    password = \"python\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    user_input = input<\/span>(\"Enter password: \"<\/span>)<\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(user_input == password)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    15. Summary (Comparison Operators)<\/h2>\n

    \u2714 Compare two values
    \u2714 Result is True or False
    \u2714 Used in if\u2013else
    \u2714 Very important for decision making<\/p>\n
