Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two values.
Note
The return value of a comparison is either true ( 1 ) or false ( 0 ).
In the following example, we use the greater than operator ( > ) to find out if 5 is greater than 3:
Example
package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
var x = 5
var y = 3
fmt.Println(x>y) // returns 1 (true) because 5 is greater than 3

| < | Less than | x < y |
| >= | Greater than or equal to | x >= y |
| <= | Less than or equal to | x <= y |
