Comparison

Comparison operators in Lipi are used to compare values and return a boolean result (thik or bethik).

Syntax

expression (== | != | < | <= | > | >=) expression

Equality Operators

Lipi supports the following equality operators:

== - Equal to
!= - Not equal to

purna a;
purna b;

a = 5;
b = 5;

yadi(a == b) {
  bhana("a is equal to b");
}

a = 10;
b = 5;

yadi(a != b) {
  bhana("a is not equal to b");
}

Relational Operators

Lipi supports the following relational operators:

< - Less than
> - Greater than
<= - Less than or equal to
>= - Greater than or equal to

purna a;
purna b;

a = 10;
b = 5;

yadi(a > b) {
  bhana("a is greater than b");
}

yadi(a >= b) {
  bhana("a is greater than or equal to b");
}

a = 5;
b = 10;

yadi(a < b) {
  bhana("a is less than b");
}

yadi(a <= b) {
  bhana("a is less than or equal to b");
}

Comparison in Loops

Comparison operators are commonly used in loop conditions:

purna i;

lagi(i = 1; i <= 5; i = i + 1;) {
  bhana(i);
}

purna j;
j = 1;

jabasamma(j <= 5) {
  bhana(j);
  j = j + 1;
}
