Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare any two values.

Operator	Name	Example
==	Equal	x == y
!=	Not equal	x != y
>	Greater than	x > y
<	Less than	x < y
>=	Greater than or equal to	x >= y
<=	Less than or equal to	x <= y

The result of a comparison is always either True or False:

print(5 == 5) # Output: True
print(10 != 9) # Output: True
print( 20 < 10) # Output: False
print( 20 > 10) # Output: True

You can also compare other data types:

print("Hello" == "Bye") # Output: False
print(True != False) # Output: True
print(2.2 != 2.2) # Output: False
print(10 == 10.1) # Output: False
print(False == 0) # Output: True
print((10 >= 10) != True) # Output: False
print(type(1) == type(1.0)) # Output: False

Note: 0 represents False and 1 represents True that is why you can compare them to numbers

Variables work as expect:

x = "Hello"
y = False

print(x == y) # Output: False

As you've seen, comparisons are the foundation of conditional logic. Whenever you want your program to perform different actions based on one or more values, the first step is to compare those values.
