Java Relational Operators
Description
Java relational operators determine the relationship between two operands.
Relational Operators List
The relational operators in Java are:
| Operator | Result |
|---|---|
| == | Equal to |
| != | Not equal to |
| > | Greater than |
| < | Less than |
| >= | Greater than or equal to |
| <= | Less than or equal to |
Example
For example, the following code fragment is perfectly valid. It compares two int values and assign the
result to boolean value c.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
int a = 4;/*from w ww .java2 s. c o m*/
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.
Example 2
The outcome of a relational operator is a boolean value.
In the following code, the System.out.println outputs the result of a relational operator.
public class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// outcome of a relational operator is a boolean value
System.out.println("10 > 9 is " + (10 > 9));
}/*from w w w . j a v a 2 s .c om*/
}
The output generated by this program is shown here:
