Python Comparison Operators
April 04, 2019
x > y > z is equivalent to (x > y) and (y > z).
Now find the table for all eight operators in Python.
| Operation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| < | strictly less than |
| <= | less than or equal |
| > | strictly greater than |
| >= | greater than or equal |
| == | equal |
| != | not equal |
| is | object identity |
| is not | negated object identity |
For the demo we are using Python 3.7.0 in our example. Now find the Python comparison operators examples.
Contents
1. strictly less than (<)
Ex1.
a = 5
if a < 10 :
print("Valid")
x < y < z is equivalent to (x < y) and (y < z)
x= 10
y= 20
z= 30
if x < y < z:
print("True")
else:
print("True")
if (x < y) and (y < z):
print("True")
else:
print("True")
True True
2. less than or equal (<=)
Ex1.
a = 8
if a <= 10 :
print("Valid")
x <= y <= z is equivalent to (x <= y) and (y <= z)
x= 10
y= 20
z= 30
if x <= y <= z:
print("True")
else:
print("True")
if (x <= y) and (y <= z):
print("True")
else:
print("True")
True True
3. strictly greater than (>)
Ex1.
a = 20
if a > 10 :
print("Valid")
z > y > x is equivalent to (z > y) and (y > x)
x= 10
y= 20
z= 30
if z > y > x:
print("True")
else:
print("True")
if (z > y) and (y > x):
print("True")
else:
print("True")
True True
4. greater than or equal (>=)
Ex1.
a = 20
if a >= 10 :
print("Valid")
z >= y >= x is equivalent to (z >= y) and (y >= x)
x= 10
y= 20
z= 30
if z >= y >= x:
print("True")
else:
print("True")
if (z >= y) and (y >= x):
print("True")
else:
print("True")
True True
5. equal (==)
Ex.
a = 20
if a == 20 :
print("Valid")
6. not equal (!=)
Ex.
a = 20
if a != 15 :
print("Valid")
7. object identity (is)
Ex.
class School:
city = "Varanasi"
s1 = School()
s2 = School()
s3 = s1
if s3 is s1:
print("True")
else:
print("False")
if s2 is s1:
print("True")
else:
print("False")
True False
8. negated object identity (is not)
Ex.
class School:
city = "Varanasi"
s1 = School()
s2 = School()
s3 = s1
if s3 is not s1:
print("True")
else:
print("False")
if s2 is not s1:
print("True")
else:
print("False")
False True
