Greater and less than

In the video, Hugo also talked about the less than and greater than signs, < and > in Python. You can combine them with an equals sign: <= and >=. Pay attention: <= is valid syntax, but =< is not.

All Python expressions in the following code chunk evaluate to True:

3 < 4
3 <= 4
"alpha" <= "beta"

Remember that for string comparison, Python determines the relationship based on alphabetical order.

Exercise instructions

  • Write Python expressions, wrapped in a print() function, to check whether:
    • x is greater than or equal to -10. x has already been defined for you.
    • "test" is less than or equal to y. y has already been defined for you.
    • True is greater than False.
