This article explains relational operators available in java.
Relational Operators
These operators compare the operands to determine their equality or ordering.
The outcome of relational operators is always a boolean value.
Operator | meaning |
== | Equal to |
!= | Not equal to |
> | Greater than |
< | Less than |
>= | Greater than or equal to |
<= | Less than or equal to |
Relational operators are mostly used in conditional statements as the conditional statements use a boolean expression for the condition.
This is shown in below example :
public class RelationalOperator { public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub int a =1, b=2; if(a < b) System.out.println("A is less than B"); if(a!=b) System.out.println("A is not equal to B"); } }
This program uses Less than(<) and Not equal to(!=) operators to check equality and ordering.
Here, note the difference between the equality operator (==) and the assignment operator. The assignment operator ( = ) is for assigning a value to a variable and == is for checking equality.
