Relational Operators

Used in programming to compare values (numbers or characters) and determine their order.

Relational Expression

An expression that evaluates to either true or false, based on comparisons of values.

Binary Operators

Relational operators use two operands to compare them.

Greater Than

Operator (>) that checks if the left operand is greater than the right one.

Less Than

Operator (<) that checks if left operand is less than the right one.

Study Notes

Relational Operators

  • Relational operators are used in programming languages to compare values and determine their relationship.
  • They evaluate to either true or false, depending on the outcome of the comparison.

Valid Relational Expression

  • A valid relational expression consists of two operands and a relational operator.
  • The operands can be variables, constants, or expressions that evaluate to a comparable value.
  • Example: 7 != 5

'!=' Operator

  • The '!=' operator stands for "not equal to".
  • In the expression '7 != 5', it checks if 7 is not equal to 5, which evaluates to true.

Associativity of Relational Operators

  • Relational operators generally have left-to-right associativity.
  • This means that expressions are evaluated from left to right, with the operator applying to its operands in the order they appear.

Relational Expression Evaluation

  • Relational expressions evaluate to Boolean values, either true or false.
  • These values are used in conditional statements or expressions to control the flow of execution or perform actions based on the comparison result.
