# Relational Operators

The six relational operators < > <= >= = != each produce a true(1) or a false(0) result.

            8.8 < 8.7   -- 8.8 less than 8.7 (false)
            -4.4 > -4.3 -- -4.4 greater than -4.3 (false)
            8 <= 7   -- 8 less than or equal to 7 (false)
            4 >= 4   -- 4 greater than or equal to 4 (true)
            1 = 10      -- 1 equal to 10 (false)
            8.7 != 8.8  -- 8.7 not equal to 8.8 (true)
            {1,2,3} = {4,5,6} -- {1,2,3} equal to {4,5,6} (false)
            {7,8,9} = {7,8,9} -- {7,8,9} equal to {7,8,9} (true)

Note that the last two examples are incompatible with Euphoria, which produces the same results as the Phix-only sq_eq() builtin.
As we will soon see you can also apply function-style equivalents to entire sequences to yield nested lists of true/false, eg
`sq_lt({8.8,{8.7,8.6}},8.7) ==>; {false,{false,true}}`.
