Comparison Operators
In this lesson, we'll learn how to perform comparisons in Python using comparison operators.
We'll cover the following
Comparison operators can be used to compare values in mathematical terms.
Operator | Purpose | Notation |

Greater Than or Equal To | In-fix |
<= |

!= |

is not |

Comparisons
The result of a comparison is always a bool.
If the comparison is correct, the value of the bool will be True
. Otherwise, its value will be False
.
The ==
and !=
operators compare the values of both operands. However, the identity operators, is
and is not
, check whether the two operands are the exact same object.
