In c#, Relational Operators are useful to check the relation between two operands like we can determine whether two operand values equal or not, etc., based on our requirements.
Generally, the c# relational operators will return true only when the defined operands relationship becomes true. Otherwise, it will return false.
For example, we have integer variables a = 10, b = 20. If we apply a relational operator >= (a >= b), we will get the result false because the variable “a” contains a value that is less than variable b.
The following table lists the different types of operators available in c# relational operators.
Operator | Name | Description | Example (a = 6, b = 3) |
---|---|---|---|
== | Equal to | It compares two operands, and it returns true if both are the same. | a == b (false) |
> | Greater than | It compares whether the left operand greater than the right operand or not and returns true if it is satisfied. | a > b (true) |
< | Less than | It compares whether the left operand less than the right operand or not and returns true if it is satisfied. | a < b (false) |
>= | Greater than or Equal to | It compares whether the left operand greater than or equal to the right operand or not and returns true if it is satisfied. | a >= b (true) |
<= | Less than or Equal to | It compares whether the left operand less than or equal to the right operand or not and returns true if it is satisfied. | a <= b (false) |
!= | Not Equal to | It checks whether two operand values equal or not and return true if values are not equal. | a != b (true) |
Following is the example of using the Relational Operators in c# programming language.
If you observe the above code, we used different Relational operators (<, >, ==) to perform required operations on defined operands.
When we execute the above c# program, we will get the result as shown below.
This is how we can use the relational operators in the c# programming language to check the relationship between defined operands based on our requirements.
