Comparison Operators in python are pretty straight forward if you have any sort of background in Mathematics.
First we’ll present a table of comparison operators and then work through some examples:
| Operator | Description | Exmple |
| == | if two values of the operands are equal, then the condition becomes true | ‘1’ == ‘1’ is true |
| != | if two values of the operands are not equal, then condition becomes true | ‘1’ != ‘2’ is true |
| > | If the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand, then the condition becomes true. | 2 > 1 is true |
| < | If the value of the right operand is greater than the value of the left operand, then the condition becomes true. | 2 < 1 is false |
| >= | If the value of the left operand is greater or equal to the value of the right operand, then the condition becomes true. | 2 >= 1 is true |
| <= | If the value of the right operand is greater or equal to the value of the left operand, then the condition becomes true. | 2 <= 1 is false |
