		//Comparing Numbers like int and float are acceptable

Relational Operators Example in java Output

Program Explanation

Relational operators or conditional operators are used to compare two operands and returns binary value. 

Comparisons include equality, inequality, greater, and lesser. Relational operators return true if the comparison is correct, else return false.

Relational Operators can be used with following data types.

OperatorInteger/LongFloat/DoubleCharacterString Boolean
Equal to (==)

        ✓

        ✓      ✓

                  ✓

(Does not compare

Strings. It compare String Location address)

     ✓
Not Equal to (!=)        ✓

        ✓

      ✓

                     ✓

(Does not compare

Strings. It compare String Location address)

     ✓
Less than (<)       ✓        ✓      ✓

Greater than (>)      ✓       ✓      ✓

Less than or Equal to (<=)      ✓       ✓      ✓

Greater than or Equal to (>=)     ✓       ✓     ✓

== does not compare two strings, instead compare memory location of two strings. To understand remove the // in the following lines and give "Decode" as input and check.

//Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
//name_2 = sc.next();

 it returns false even though both of the string variables has "Decode".
