Relational Operator

When there is a need to compare two quantities, relational operators are used. An expres-
sion like p>q or p>=30 having a relational is known as relational expression. The output of
a relational expression is either TRUE or FALSE. There are 6 relational operators in Java
which are given in the following table.

Operator Meaning

== Is equal to

!= Not equal to

< Less than

<= Less than or equal to

> Greater than

>= Greater than or equal to

Example to demonstrate the relational operators:

public class Test {

public static void main(String args[]) {

int p = 10;

int q = 20;

System. out. println ("p == q = " + (p == q) );

System.out.println ("p != q = " + (p != q) );

System.out.println ("p > q = " + (p > q) );

System.out.println ("p < q = " + (p < q) );

System.out.println ("q >= p = " + (q >= p) );

System.out.println ("q <= p = " + (q <= p) );

}
