Comparison Operators
We discussed three comparison operators in previous chapters. However, there are additional operators in this category that we should be familiar with. Below is a list of all the comparison operators:
| Operator | Logic |
|---|---|
== | Equal to |
!= | Not Equal to |
< | Less Than |
<= | Less Than or Equal to |
> | Greater Than |
>= | Greater Than or Equal to |
Not Equal To (!=)
This operator is used to check if two values are not equal to each other. For example:
index
var a int = 1
fmt.Println(a != 2) // Outputs 'true'
var a int = 1 fmt.Println(a != 2) // Outputs 'true'
Less Than or Equal To (<=)
This operator is used to check if the value on the left is less than or equal to the value on the right:
index
var a int = 7
fmt.Println(a <= 7) // Outputs 'true'
fmt.Println(a <= 6) // Outputs 'false'
var a int = 7 fmt.Println(a <= 7) // Outputs 'true' fmt.Println(a <= 6) // Outputs 'false'
Greater Than or Equal To (>=)
This operator is used to check if the value on the left is greater than or equal to the value on the right:
index
var a int = 7
fmt.Println(a >= 7) // Outputs 'true'
fmt.Println(a >= 6) // Outputs 'true'
var a int = 7 fmt.Println(a >= 7) // Outputs 'true' fmt.Println(a >= 6) // Outputs 'true'
Everything was clear?
