Java provides operators that can be used to check the relationship between values or values within variables also known as operands.
All relational operators, less than(<), less than or equal to(<=), greater than(>), greater than and equal to(>=) gives resultant value in boolean i.e either true or false after evaluation.
In this article, you will find Relational operators provided by Java.
Relational operators
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
< | Less than | x == y |
<= | Less than or equal to | x != y |
> | Greater than | x == y |
>= | Greater than or equal to | x != y |
- All of these relational operators are binary operators.
- All these relational operators also follow the general structure of
OperandOperatorOperand, meaning that an operator is always surrounded by two operands. - For example, an expression
x >= yis a binary operation, where x and y are two operands and >= is an operator. If value ofxis greater thanyyou will gettrueas value elsefalse.
class RelationalOperatorsDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create variables
int a = 10, b = 12;
// value of a and b
System.out.println("Value of a is " + a + " and b is " + b);
// > operator
System.out.println(a > b); // false
// < operator
System.out.println(a < b); // true
// >= operator
System.out.println(a >= b); // false
// <= operator
System.out.println(a <= b); // true
}
