Greater than or Equal to Sign
The Greater Than or Equal To Operator returns True if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, else it will return False.
Syntax: x >= y
Example: In this code, we have three variables ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and assigned them with some integer value. Then we have used greater than or equal to operator to check if a variable is greater than or equal to the other.
a = 9
b = 5
c = 9
# Output
print(a >= b)
print(a >= c)
print(b >= a)
Output:
True
True
False
Comparison Operators in Python
The Python operators can be used with various data types, including numbers, strings, booleans, and more. In Python, comparison operators are used to compare the values of two operands (elements being compared). When comparing strings, the comparison is based on the alphabetical order of their characters (lexicographic order).
Be cautious when comparing floating-point numbers due to potential precision issues. Consider using a small tolerance value for comparisons instead of strict equality.
