Python Relational Operators: A Beginner’s Guide from Zero

Learning Notes DAY 34 – A reminder that persistence is hard to talk about but harder to practice.

Python relational operators are used to compare values and return a Boolean result (True if the expression holds, otherwise False). When applied to strings, the comparison follows ASCII code order.

The available operators are: > < >= <= == != These operators are primarily used in if statements and loop conditions.

Example:

a = 12</code>
<code>b = 31</code>
<code>c = 12</code>
<code>print(a < b)   # True</code>
<code>print(a > b)   # False</code>
<code>print(a >= b)  # False</code>
<code>print(a <= b)  # True</code>
<code>print(a == c)  # True</code>
<code>print(a != b)  # True</code>
<code>print("a" > "f") # False

Running the code produces the following output:

True</code>
<code>False</code>
<code>False</code>
<code>True</code>
<code>True</code>
<code>True</code>
<code>False
