Comparison operators are usually used to compare operands for a condition in a control structure such as an If statement.
The comparison operators are equal (=), not equal (<>), less than (<), less than or equal to (<=), greater than (>) and greater than or equal to (>=).
Comparison operators as a group all have lower precedence than the arithmetic operators. For example, expressions like 2 + 3 < 2 * 9 are the same as (2 + 3) < (2*9).
