Lesson Four: Comparing Numbers

Comparing Numbers

There are symbols which can be used to compare two numbers:



  >  GREATER THAN
  <  LESS THAN
  =  EQUAL

Here are some examples showing how these symbols can be used:



   410 > 399			555 < 711

   654 = 654			162 > 110



  615 > 557	Means that 615 is larger than 557.

  417 < 519	Means that 417 is smaller than 619. 

  211 = 211	Means that 211 is equal to 211.
