Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are fundamental programming constructs used to compare two values or expressions and return a boolean result (true or false). They are essential for implementing conditional logic, such as in if statements, loops, and decision-making processes in code. Common operators include equality (==), inequality (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), and their variants.

Also known as: Relational Operators, Comparison Ops, Comp Operators, Compare Ops, Equality Operators

Why learn Comparison Operators?

Developers should learn comparison operators because they are ubiquitous in all programming languages and critical for controlling program flow. They are used in scenarios like validating user input, sorting data, filtering arrays, and implementing business logic rules. Mastery of these operators is necessary for writing efficient and bug-free conditional code.
