    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.
