Comparison operators (can be known as Relational operators) can be used in conditional statements to compare values and take action depending on the result:

Examples:


public class checkComparisonOperators{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	
	int numA = 5;
	int numB = 3;
	
	if(numA >= numB){
		System.out.println("numA is greater than numB");
	}else{
		System.out.println("numA is not greater than 		numB");
	}

}


The output from the above examples would be:

	numA is greater than numB.
