In this chapter you will learn:

1. What are the relational operators in Java
2. Relational Operators List
3. Example - Java Relational Operators
4. Example - outputs the result of a relational operator

Description

Java relational operators determine the relationship between two operands.

Relational Operators List

The relational operators in Java are:

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;// w w  w  .  j  a  v a2 s . c  om
    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 a2 s.c o m*/
}

The output generated by this program is shown here:
