Comparisons

Booleans and their truthiness are most often used in comparisions, and we use comparisions without even thinking about their underlying data type. To perform a comparision, we can use a comparision operator. Python supports the following comparision operators:

== equal to
!= not equal to
> greater than
< less than
>= greater than or equal to
<= less than or equal to For this exercise, we'll be using a subset of the Palmer Archipelago (Antarctica) penguin data set, named penguins, as a list of dictionaries with the keys of species, flipper_length, body_mass and sex.

Exercise instructions

Use a for loop to iterate over the penguins list.
Check the penguin entry for a body_mass of more than 3300 grams.
Print the species and sex of the penguin if true.
