NUMBERS AND COMPARISON OPERATORS IN PYTHON.

 

In Python, numbers can be integers, long integers, or floating-point numbers. Integers are whole numbers and can be positive or negative, while floating-point numbers have decimal places. Python also supports complex numbers, which are numbers with a real and imaginary component.

Python has several comparison operators that can be used to compare numbers. The most common operators are:

• ==: Equality operator, returns True if the values on either side of the operator are equal.
• !=: Inequality operator, returns True if the values on either side of the operator are not equal.
• >: Greater than operator, returns True if the value on the left side of the operator is greater than the value on the right side.
• <: Less than operator, returns True if the value on the left side of the operator is less than the value on the right side.
• >=: Greater than or equal to operator, returns True if the value on the left side of the operator is greater than or equal to the value on the right side.
• <=: Less than or equal to operator, returns True if the value on the left side of the operator is less than or equal to the value on the right side.

For example, the following code compares two integers:

x = 5 y = 3 print(x > y) # prints True print(x < y) # prints False

It's worth noting that in Python, you can chain the comparison operator. For example:

x = 5 y = 3 z = 7 print(x < y < z) # prints True

This is equivalent to x < y and y < z and it's equivalent to (x < y) and (y < z)
