Erlang Relational Operators

The following are the relational operators available in Erlang.

Operator	Description	Example
==	Test if two objects are equal	2 = 2 The result is true
/=	Test if two objects are not equal	3 /= 2　The result is true
<	Test if the left object is less than the right operand	2 < 3　The result is true
<=	Test if the left object is less than or equal to the right operand	2 <=3　The result is true
>	Test if the left object is greater than the right operand	3 > 2　The result is true
>=	Test if the left object is greater than or equal to the right operand	3 >= 2　The result is true

The following code segment shows how to use various operators.

Online Example

Example

-module(helloworld).　
-export([start/0]).　
start()　->　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3==2]),　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3/=2]),　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3<2]),　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3<=2]),　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3>2]),　
　　　io:fwrite("~w~n",[3>=2]).

The output of the above program will be:

false
true
false
false
true
true
