Comparison Operators

Comparison Operators

= - is used for assignment

== - is used for comparison

print(10 == 10) # Checks if 10 = 10 --> will print True

# String comparison
print('hello' == 'Hello') # Checks if hello = Hello --> will print False

Comparison operators take into consideration types as well:

print(5 == '5') # Checks if 5 = '5' --> will print False

# There are also certain types that are 'truthy' (kinda true)
print(5 = 5.00) # Checks if 5 = 5.00 --> will print True
print(5 = 5.01) # Checks if 5 = 5.01 --> will print False

Less then, greater then, less then or equal to, grater then or equal to:

print(5 < 10)  # Checks if 5 < 10 --> will print True
print(5 > 10)  # Checks if 5 > 10 --> will print False
print(5 <= 5)  # Checks if 5 less then or equal to 5 --> will print True
print(5 >= 10) # Checks if 5 greater then or equal to 10 --> will print False

The bang operator - (Negation operator):

print(5 != 6) # Checks is 5 is NOT equal to 6 --> will print True

The 'or' condition:

print('hello' == 'Hello' or 5 == 5) # Checks if one of the conditions is correct and if it is it will print True

The 'and' condition:

print('hello' == 'Hello' and 5 == 5) # Checks if both conditions are correct, if they are not it will print False

To write this cleaner it is better for each condition to be wrapped in it's own paranthesis:

print(('hello' == 'Hello') and (5 == 5))

Evaluation of statements:

True  + True  = True
True  + False = False
False + False = False

The 'not' operator:

# Not will do the oposite:
print( not False ) # Prints True
print(not True)    # Prints False

All comparison operators result in a bool value:

• Either True

• Either False
