3.3 Comparison Operators

Comparison Operators Practice Money Compare X Even No Greater Than

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are ways to compare data

> means "greater than"

>= means "at least"

< means "less than"

<= means "no more than"

== means "equal to"

💡

Don't confuse == with =. = is for assignment while == is for checking equality

!= means "not equal to"

Example Code


# Comparison Operators

print(5 > 9)  # False
print(10 >= 9)  # True
print(5 < 9)  # True
print(10 <= 9)  # False

print(9 == 9)  # True
print(10 == 9)  # False

print(9 != 9)  # False
print(10 != 9)  # True

Practice

Money

In Python syntax, what would you write to say you have at least $4.50?

💻 Template code

✅ Solution code

Compare X

You start with x = 10. Compare x with another number using a comparison operator such that if you print x (comparison operator) (another number), it prints False.

💻 Template code

✅ Solution code

Even

Write a program that takes an integer as input and displays True if the integer is even. Otherwise, it displays False.

💻 Template code

✅ Solution code

No Greater Than

Create a program that takes a POSITIVE integer as an input and checks if it is NO GREATER than 100. Print True if it is and False if it isn't. YOU MAY NOT USE GREATER THAN or LESS THAN OPERATORS (>, <, >=, or <=). Find a way to do this problem using only the == operator and any math operators you want
