Relational Operators

The relational operators determine the relationship between two operands. The relational operators are:

The outcome of relational operators is a boolean value. For example, the following code fragment is perfectly valid:

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
    int a = 4;
    int b = 1;
    boolean c = a < b;

    System.out.println("c is " + c);
  }
}

The result of a < b (which is false) is stored in c.

c is false
