Operators in Python are symbols that represent functional executions.
Note
More details about this can be found at https://docs.python.org/2/library/operator.html.
The important thing to remember is that Python has extensive capabilities that allow complex mathematical and comparative operations. Only a few of them will be covered here to prepare you for more detailed work.
A comparison operator checks whether a condition is true or false based on the method of evaluation. In simpler terms, we try to determine whether one value equals, does not equal, is greater than, is less than, is greater than or equal to, or is less than or equal to another value. Interestingly enough, the Python comparison operators are very straightforward.
The following table will help define the details of operators:
|
Comparison test |
Operator |
|---|---|
|
Are the two values equal? |
== |
|
Are the values not equal? |
!= |
|
Is the value on the left greater than the value on the right? |
> |
|
Is the value on... |
