Definition:
A relational operator compares two operands to determine whether one is greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to the other:
> greater than
>= greater than or equal to
< less than
<= less than or equal to
When used in an expression they all return a boolean value which states the result of the comparison (i.e., 4 > 3 can be read as is 4 greater than 3? Which returns true).
Examples:
int three = 3;
int four = 4;
//is four greater than three?
System.out.println(four > three); //true
//is four greater than or equal to four?
System.out.println(four >= four); //true
//is four less than three?
System.out.println(four < three); //false
//is four less than or equal to three?
System.out.println(four <= three); //false
