How to Compare Values in Python?

To compare values in Python, you can use comparison operators. Python provides several comparison operators to compare values and determine the relationship between them. Here are the commonly used comparison operators in Python:

• Equality: ==
  • Checks if two values are equal.
  • Example: a == b
• Inequality: !=
  • Checks if two values are not equal.
  • Example: a != b
• Greater than: >
  • Checks if the left operand is greater than the right operand.
  • Example: a > b
• Less than: <
  • Checks if the left operand is less than the right operand.
  • Example: a < b
• Greater than or equal to: >=
  • Checks if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
  • Example: a >= b
• Less than or equal to: <=
  • Checks if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
  • Example: a <= b

These comparison operators return a boolean value (True or False) based on the result of the comparison.

You can use these operators to compare values of various data types, including numbers, strings, and objects. The specific behavior of the comparison may depend on the data type being compared.

Here’s an example of using comparison operators to compare values:

a = 10
b = 5

print(a == b)  # False
print(a != b)  # True
print(a > b)   # True
print(a < b)   # False
print(a >= b)  # True
print(a <= b)  # False

In this example, we compare the values of a and b using different comparison operators, and the corresponding boolean results are printed.
