When applied to primitive data types, the comparison operators return a value of type boolean.
| == | equal to (Attention: = is different from == ) |
| != | different from |
| > | greater than |
| < | less than |
| >= | greater than or equal to |
| <= | less than or equal to |
Example:
| 10 < 20 | is a boolean expression equivalent to | true |
| 10 == 20 | is a boolean expression equivalent to | false |
| 10 != 20 | is a boolean expression equivalent to | true |
Example:
boolean x = 10 < 20; // assignment of the value of a boolean expression System.out.println(x); // prints "true"
