Go Comparison Operators

Comparison operators in Go are designed to compare two values, helping determine their relational connection. They return a Boolean result of either true (1) or false (0), depending on whether the comparison holds.

Using a Comparison Operator

The greater-than operator (>) is one such example. It checks whether one value is larger than another.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var yamaha = 5
    var suzuki = 3
    fmt.Println(yamaha > suzuki) // returns true because 5 is greater than 3
}

Go
​x
 
package main​import "fmt"​func main() {    var yamaha = 5    var suzuki = 3    fmt.Println(yamaha > suzuki) // returns true because 5 is greater than 3}​

List of Comparison Operators in Go

Here’s a table listing all comparison operators, their meanings, and examples:

Operator	Name	Example
`==`	Equal to	`x == y`
`!=`	Not equal	`x != y`
`>`	Greater than	`x > y`
`<`	Less than	`x < y`
`>=`	Greater than or equal to	`x >= y`
`<=`	Less than or equal to	`x <= y`

Examples Using Comparison Operators

Here’s a practical implementation showcasing various comparison operators:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var ducati = 10
    var honda = 8
    var yamaha = 10

    // Equal to
    fmt.Println(ducati == yamaha) // true, as both are 10

    // Not equal
    fmt.Println(ducati != honda) // true, as 10 is not equal to 8

    // Greater than
    fmt.Println(ducati > honda) // true, as 10 is greater than 8

    // Less than
    fmt.Println(honda < yamaha) // true, as 8 is less than 10

    // Greater than or equal to
    fmt.Println(ducati >= yamaha) // true, as 10 is equal to 10

    // Less than or equal to
    fmt.Println(honda <= ducati) // true, as 8 is less than 10
}

Go
 
package main​import "fmt"​func main() {    var ducati = 10    var honda = 8    var yamaha = 10​    // Equal to    fmt.Println(ducati == yamaha) // true, as both are 10​    // Not equal    fmt.Println(ducati != honda) // true, as 10 is not equal to 8​    // Greater than    fmt.Println(ducati > honda) // true, as 10 is greater than 8​    // Less than    fmt.Println(honda < yamaha) // true, as 8 is less than 10​    // Greater than or equal to    fmt.Println(ducati >= yamaha) // true, as 10 is equal to 10​    // Less than or equal to    fmt.Println(honda <= ducati) // true, as 8 is less than 10}​
