Booleans
bool is a data type in Python that has two values True or False. In programming it is often essential to know if an expression is true or false. As is illustrated below.
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are a kind of operator that can compare two values. For example, is 15 greater than 7? Python's comparison operators are shown below
| Operations | Operator | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equal to | == | 5 == 5 | True |
| Not equal to | != | 5 != 5 | False |
| Greater than | > | 4 > 5 | False |
| Greater than or equal to | >= | 7 >= 7 | True |
| Less than | < | 2 < 4 | True |
| Less than or equal to | <= | 4 <= 3 | False |
Is 45 greater than 74?
To evaluate if 45 is greater than 74, enter the below code into a code editor:
45 > 74Output
False
In the code above we asked if 45 is greater than 74. Since 45 is smaller than 74 the output was False.
Try performing some other comparisons using the guidelines above. For example, try assigning two new different values to two different variables and then comparing them.
