Table 5.8: Relational operators
Operator type Symbol Description Syntax example

Less than or <= Evaluates if the left A <= B

equal to the right operand

Greater than or >= Evaluates if the left A >= B
equal to operand is greater than or
equal to the right operand

Instance of operator This verifies if the object boolean result = name
belongs to a specific type instanceof

(class or interface) by String;
using the syntax: (Object
reference variable)
instanceof (class/interface
type).

Equal to == Evaluates if the values of A == B
two operands are equal

Not equal to != Evaluates if the values A != B
of two operands are not
equal

Greater than > Evaluates if the value of A > B
left operand is greater than
the value of right operand

Less than < Evaluates if the value of A < B
left operand is less than
the value of right operand

Practice how the program works, just write the Program Example 5.7 in any editor
then compile and run the program in JDK using cmd.exe:
