7.5.2 Relational Operators
A relational operator is used to compare the values of operands on either side. The result of applying a relational
operator is either True or False. Table 7.2 describes the relational operators.

Table 7.2: Relational Operators (Assume that the variables a, b, c have values 10, 5, and -2 respectively)

Operator Operation Explanation Examples
== equal to Yields True if the operands on either side >>> c == -2
are equal and False otherwise. True
>>> a == b
False
!= not equal to Returns True if operands on the two sides >>> a != b
of the operator are not equal, False True
otherwise. >>> c != -2
False
> greater than Yields True if the value on the LHS of the >>> a > b
operator is greater than that on its RHS, True
and False otherwise. >>> c > 0
False
< less than Yields True if the value on the LHS of the >>> c < b
operator is less than that on the RHS of the True
operator, and False otherwise. >>> b < 0
False
>= greater than or yields True if the value on the LHS of >>> c >= -2
equal to the operator is greater than or equal to True
the value on the RHS of the operator, and >>> b >= a
False otherwise. False

<= less than or Yields True if the value on the LHS of the >>> c <= -2
equal to operator is less than or equal to the value on True

the RHS of the operator, otherwise False. >>> b <= c
False
7.5.3 Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign the value of the operand on the right-hand side of the operator to the
operand on the left-hand side of the operator. (see Table 7.3: Assignment Operators)
(Assume the value of a, b, and c to be 10, 5, and -2 respectively for computations in the table)
Table 7.3: Assignment Operators

Operator Operation Explanation Examples
= Assignment The operator assigns the value on the RHS of >>> a = 10
the operator to the operand on the LHS of the >>> b = a + b
operator. >>> b
15
+= Addition and The operator adds the value on the RHS of >>> a += 20
assignment the operator to the operand on the left of >>> a
the operator and assigns the result to the 30
operand on the LHS of the operator. Note >>> a += 3 * 4
that the expression on the RHS is evaluated >>> a
before applying += 22
