[ edit ] Two-way comparison
The two-way comparison operator expressions have the form
lhsrhs
(1)
lhsrhs
(2)
lhsrhs
(3)
lhsrhs
(4)
lhsrhs
(5)
lhsrhs
(6)
In all cases, for the built-in operators, lhs and rhs must have either
arithmetic or enumeration type (see arithmetic comparison operators below)
pointer type (see pointer comparison operators below)
after the application of the lvalue-to-rvalue , array-to-pointer and function-to-pointer standard conversions. The comparison is deprecated if both operands have array type prior to the application of these conversions. (since C++20)
In any case, the result is a bool prvalue.
[ edit ] Arithmetic comparison operators
If the operands have arithmetic or enumeration type (scoped or unscoped), usual arithmetic conversions are performed on both operands following the rules for arithmetic operators . The values are compared after conversions:
[ edit ] Example
[ edit ] pointer comparison operators.
Comparison operators can be used to compare two pointers.
Only equality operators ( operator == and operator ! = ) can be used to compare the following pointer pairs:
two pointers-to-members
a null pointer constant with a pointer or a pointer-to-member
value with a null pointer constant (which can also be a value)
(since C++11)
First, pointer conversions (pointer to member conversions if the arguments are pointers to members) , function pointer conversions, (since C++17) and qualification conversions are applied to both operands to obtain the composite pointer type , as follows
If both operands are null pointer constants, the composite pointer type is
(since C++11)
a pointer to cv1 void , and
a pointer to cv2 T , where T is an object type or void ,
P1 , a pointer to (possibly cv-qualified) T1 , and
P2 , a pointer to (possibly cv-qualified) T2 ,
MP1 , pointer to member of T1 of type (possibly cv-qualified) U1 , and
MP2 , pointer to member of T2 of type (possibly cv-qualified) U2 ,
In the definition above, cv-combined type of two pointer types P1 and P2 is a type P3 that has the same number of levels and type at every level as P1 , except that cv-qualifications at every level are set as follows:
For example, the composite pointer type of void * and const int * is const void * . The composite pointer type of int ** and const int ** is const int * const * . Note that until resolution of CWG1512 , int ** and const int ** could not be compared.
In addition to the above, the composite pointer type between pointer to function and pointer to noexcept function (as long as the function type is the same) is pointer to function.
(since C++17)
Note that this implies that any pointer can be compared with void * .
The result of comparing two pointers to objects (after conversions) is defined as follows:
The result of equality comparison of two pointers (after conversions) is defined as follows:
The result of comparing two pointers to members (after conversions) is defined as follows:
If a pointer p compare equal to pointer q , p <= q and p >= q both yield true and p < q and p > q both yield false .
If a pointer p compares greater than a pointer q , then p >= q , p > q , q <= p , and q < p all yield true and p <= q , p < q , q >= p , and q > p all yield false .
If two pointers are not specified to compare greater or compare equal, the result of the comparison is unspecified. An unspecified result may be nondeterministic, and need not be consistent even for multiple evaluations of the same expression with the same operands in the same execution of the program:
In overload resolution against user-defined operators , for every pair of promoted arithmetic types L and R , including enumeration types, the following function signatures participate in overload resolution:
operator<(L, R);
operator>(L, R);
operator<=(L, R);
operator>=(L, R);
operator==(L, R);
operator!=(L, R);
For every type P which is either pointer to object or pointer to function, the following function signatures participate in overload resolution:
operator<(P, P);
operator>(P, P);
operator<=(P, P);
operator>=(P, P);
operator==(P, P);
operator!=(P, P);
For every type MP that is a pointer to member object or pointer to member function or std::nullptr_t , the following function signatures participate in overload resolution:
operator==(MP, MP);
operator!=(MP, MP);
[ edit ] Notes
Because these operators group left-to-right, the expression a < b < c is parsed ( a < b ) < c , and not a < ( b < c ) or ( a < b ) && ( b < c ) .
A common requirement for user-defined operator< is strict weak ordering . In particular, this is required by the standard algorithms and containers that work with Compare types: std::sort , std::max_element , std::map , etc.
Although the results of comparing pointers of random origin (e.g. not all pointing to members of the same array) is unspecified, many implementations provide strict total ordering of pointers, e.g. if they are implemented as addresses within continuous virtual address space. Those implementations that do not (e.g. where not all bits of the pointer are part of a memory address and have to be ignored for comparison, or an additional calculation is required or otherwise pointer and integer is not a 1 to 1 relationship), provide a specialization of std::less for pointers that has that guarantee. This makes it possible to use all pointers of random origin as keys in standard associative containers such as std::set or std::map .
For the types that are both EqualityComparable and LessThanComparable , the C++ standard library makes a distinction between equality , which is the value of the expression a == b and equivalence , which is the value of the expression ! ( a < b ) && ! ( b < a ) .
Comparison between pointers and null pointer constants was removed by the resolution of CWG issue 583 included in N3624
The three-way comparison operator expressions have the form
ab
The expression returns an object such that
( a <=> b ) < 0 if a < b
( a <=> b ) > 0 if a > b
( a <=> b ) == 0 if a and b are equal/equivalent.
If one of the operands is of type bool and the other is not, the program is ill-formed.
If both operands have arithmetic types, or if one operand has unscoped enumeration type and the other has integral type, the usual arithmetic conversions are applied to the operands, and then
If a narrowing conversion is required, other than from an integral type to a floating point type, the program is ill-formed.
Otherwise, if the operands have integral type, the operator yields a prvalue of type std::strong_ordering :
std::strong_ordering::equal if both operands are arithmetically equal,
std::strong_ordering::less if the first operand is arithmetically less than the second
std::strong_ordering::greater otherwise.
Otherwise, the operands have floating-point type, and the operator yields a prvalue of type std::partial_ordering . The expression a <=> b yields
std::partial_ordering::less if a is less than b
std::partial_ordering::greater if a is greater than b
std::partial_ordering::equivalent if a is equivalent to b ( - 0 <=> + 0 is equivalent)
std::partial_ordering::unordered ( NaN <=> anything is unordered).
If both operands have the same enumeration type E , the operator yields the result of converting the operands to the underlying type of E and applying <=> to the converted operands.
If at least one of the operands is a pointer or pointer-to-member, array-to-pointer conversions, derived-to-base pointer conversions, function pointer conversions, and qualification conversions are applied as necessary to convert both operands to the same pointer type, and the resulting pointer type is an object pointer type, p <=> q returns a prvalue of type std::strong_ordering :
std::strong_ordering::equal if p == q ,
std::strong_ordering::less if p < q ,
std::strong_ordering::greater if p > q .
unspecified result if comparison is unspecified for these pointer values (such as when they do not point into the same object or array).
Otherwise, the program is ill-formed.
In overload resolution against user-defined operators , for pointer or enumeration type T , the following function signature participates in overload resolution:
(T, T);
Where R is the ordering category type defined above.
Three-way comparison can be automatically generated for class types, see default comparisons .
If both of the operands are arrays, three-way comparison is ill-formed.

Multiple Comparison / Assignment Operators on the Same Line in JavaScript
In the above, what is the line inside of the function doing and how does it work?
2 Answers 2
First it's doing the comparison input != 1 , and then assigning the result of that (which will be true or false ) the variable value . The != is a comparison , the = is an assignment .
This is exactly the same as any other assignment: The right-hand side is evaluated, and assigned to the left-hand side.
See Operator Precedence .
!= has a precedence of 9 and = has a precedence of 17.
Therefore it evaluates input != 1 and then assigns the result to value .

JavaScript Comparison Operators
Comparison operators compare two values and return a boolean value ( true or false ). For example,
Here, we have used the > comparison operator to check whether a (whose value is 3 ) is greater than b (whose value is 2 ).
Since 3 is greater than 2 , we get true as output.
Note: In the above example, a > b is called a boolean expression since evaluating it results in a boolean value.
Commonly Used Comparison Operators
Operator
Meaning
Example
Equal to
Not equal to
Strictly equal to
Strictly not equal to
Greater than
Less than
Greater than or equal to
Less than or equal to
1. JavaScript Equal To Operator
The equal to operator == evaluates to
true if the values of the operands are equal.
false if the values of the operands are not equal.
For example,
Note : In JavaScript, == is a comparison operator, whereas = is an assignment operator. If you mistakenly use = instead of == , you might get unexpected results.
2. Not Equal To Operator
The not equal to operator != evaluates to
true if the values of the operands aren't equal.
false if the values of the operands are equal.
3. Strict Equal To Operator
The strict equal to operator === evaluates to
true if both the values and the types of the operands are the same.
false if either the values or the types of the operands are not the same.
The == (equality) operator only checks the values of the operands and not their types. For example,
However, the === (strict equality) operator checks both the values and types of the operands. For example,
This means, the == operator returns true as long as the values of the operands are equal. But, the === operator only returns true when both the values and the types of the operands are equal.
4. Strict Not Equal To Operator
The strict not equal to operator !== evaluates to
true if either the values or the types of the operands are not the same.
false if both the values and the types of the operands are the same.
5. Greater Than Operator
The greater than operator > returns
true if the value on the left is greater than the value on the right.
false if the value on the left isn't greater than the value on the right.
6. Greater Than Or Equal To Operator
The greater than or equal to operator >= returns
true if the value on the left is greater than or equal to the value on the right.
false if the value on the left is less than the value on the right.
7. Less Than Operator
The less than operator < returns
true if the value on the left is less than the value on the right.
false if the value on the left isn't less than the value on the right.
8. Less Than Or Equal To Operator
The less than or equal to operator <= returns
true if the value on the left is less than or equal to the value on the right.
false if the value on the left is greater than the value on the right.
JavaScript Logical Operators
Logical operators return a boolean value by evaluating boolean expressions. For example,
Here, && is the logical operator AND . Since both the boolean expressions x < 6 and y < 5 are true , evaluating them with the && operator also results in true .
Commonly Used Logical Operators
Operator
Syntax
Description
(Logical AND)
only if both and are
(Logical OR)
if either or is
(Logical NOT)
if is and vice versa
1. Logical AND Operator
The logical AND operator && returns true if both the expressions are true . For example,
(x < 4) && (4 >= x) results in true because both expressions are true .
(x <= 4) && (2 == 4) results in false because the expression 2 == 4 is false .
(x > 4) && (x == 4) results in false because both expressions are false .
2. Logical OR Operator
The logical OR operator || returns true if at least one expression is true . For example,
(x < 4) || (4 >= x) results in true because both expressions are true .
(x <= 4) || (2 == 4) results in true because the expression x <= 4 is true .
(x > 4) || (x == 4) results in false because both expressions are false .
3. Logical NOT Operator
The logical NOT operator ! returns true if the specified expression is false and vice versa. For example,
!true results in false because ! inverts the value of true to false .
!false results in true because ! inverts the value of false to true .
!(2 < 3) results in false because ! inverts the true value of (2 < 3) to false .
Frequently Asked Question
In JavaScript, we use comparison operators to compare two values and find the resulting boolean value ( true or false ). For example,
In the above example, we used the < operator to find the boolean value for the condition 4 < 5 .
On the other hand, we use logical operators to perform logical operations on boolean expressions. For example,
Here, the expression 4 < 5 gives us the boolean value true . The ! operator then acts on this boolean value and inverts it to false .

What is the difference between = (Assignment) and == (Equal to) operators
The differences can be shown in tabular form as follows: =. ==. It is an assignment operator. It is a relational or comparison operator. It is used for assigning the value to a variable. It is used for comparing two values. It returns 1 if both the values are equal otherwise returns 0. Constant term cannot be placed on left hand side.
Assignment Operators in Programming
Assignment operators are used in programming to assign values to variables. We use an assignment operator to store and update data within a program. They enable programmers to store data in variables and manipulate that data. The most common assignment operator is the equals sign (=), which assigns the value on the right side of the operator to ...

= is the assignment operator. It sets a variable (the left-hand side) to a value (the right-hand side). The result is the value on the right-hand side. == is the comparison operator. It will only return true if both values are equivalent after coercing their types to the same type. === is a more strict comparison operator often called the ...
The differences' between the operator "==" and
In python and other languages like C, "=" is a assignment operator and is used to assign a value to a variable. Example: a=2 # the value of a is 2. whereas "==" is Comparison operator and is used to check whether 2 expressions give the same value .Equality check returns true if it succeeds and else return false. Example: a=2 b=3 c=2.
Assignment operators
Assignment performs implicit conversion from the value of rhs to the type of lhs and then replaces the value in the object designated by lhs with the converted value of rhs . Assignment also returns the same value as what was stored in lhs (so that expressions such as a = b = c are possible). The value category of the assignment operator is non ...
What are comparisons and assignments?
While comparison operators are used to compare values and return boolean results, assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. The key differences between comparison and assignment operators are as follows: Purpose: Comparison operators compare values and determine their relationship (equality, greater than, less than, etc.).
Operators
The assignment operator (operator =, with one equal sign) is not the same as the equality comparison operator (operator ==, with two equal signs); the first one (=) assigns the value on the right-hand to the variable on its left, while the other (==) compares whether the values on both sides of the operator are equal.
Python Operators: Arithmetic, Assignment, Comparison, Logical, Identity, Membership, Bitwise. Operators are special symbols that perform some operation on operands and returns the result. For example, 5 + 6 is an expression where + is an operator that performs arithmetic add operation on numeric left operand 5 and the right side operand 6 and ...

The second group of operators we're going to explore is the assignment operators. Assignment operators are used to assign a specific value to a variable. The basic assignment operator is marked by the equal = symbol, and you've already seen this operator in action before: let x = 5; After the basic assignment operator, there are 5 more ...
C++ Operator Precedence
Operators that have the same precedence are bound to their arguments in the direction of their associativity. For example, the expression a = b = c is parsed as a =(b = c), and not as (a = b)= c because of right-to-left associativity of assignment, but a + b - c is parsed (a + b)- c and not a +(b - c) because of left-to-right associativity of ...
Python Operators (With Examples)
3. Python Comparison Operators. Comparison operators compare two values/variables and return a boolean result: True or False. For example, a = 5 b = 2 print (a > b) # True. Here, the > comparison operator is used to compare whether a is greater than b or not.
Comparison Operators in Programming
Comparison Operator is an operator that compares two operands and return true if the comparison evaluates to true otherwise, it returns false. They are important in programming, as they help us to compare values and expressions. ... Assignment operators in programming are symbols used to assign values to variables. They offer shorthand ...

for assignments to class type objects, the right operand could be an initializer list only when the assignment is defined by a user-defined assignment operator. removed user-defined assignment constraint. CWG 1538. C++11. E1 ={E2} was equivalent to E1 = T(E2) ( T is the type of E1 ), this introduced a C-style cast. it is equivalent to E1 = T{E2}
Comparison operators
Comparison operators compare the values of two operands and evaluate whether the statement they form is true or false.The following example uses the strict equality operator (===) to compare two operands: the expression 2 + 2 and the value 4.Because the result of the expression and the number value 4 are the same, this expression evaluates to true:

JavaScript is notorious for having many different comparison operators. Vale has the interesting variation that x = 42 is only a variable declaration, and assignment must be written set x = 42. I find, like the author, that I also write many more dclarations than assignments. ... This is also the same as Python ─ = is assignment but not an ...

Comparison operators
Comparison operators. Compares the arguments. Where built-in operators return bool, most user-defined overloads also return bool so that the user-defined operators can be used in the same manner as the built-ins. However, in a user-defined operator overload, any type can be used as return type (including void ). T2 can be any type including T .
Multiple Comparison / Assignment Operators on the Same Line in
4. First it's doing the comparison input != 1, and then assigning the result of that (which will be true or false) the variable value. The != is a comparison, the = is an assignment. This is exactly the same as any other assignment: The right-hand side is evaluated, and assigned to the left-hand side. answered Dec 18, 2013 at 22:40. T.J. Crowder.
JavaScript Comparison and Logical Operators
Comparison operators compare two values and return a boolean value ( true or false ). For example, const a = 3, b = 2; console.log(a > b); // Output: true. Run Code. Here, we have used the > comparison operator to check whether a (whose value is 3) is greater than b (whose value is 2 ). Since 3 is greater than 2, we get true as output.
Comparison operators
The type of any equality operator expression is int, and its value (which is not an lvalue) is 1 when the specified relationship holds true and 0 when the specified relationship does not hold.. if both operands have arithmetic types, usual arithmetic conversions are performed and the resulting values are compared in the usual mathematical sense (except that positive and negative zeroes compare ...

The differences can be shown in tabular form as follows: =. ==. It is an assignment operator. It is a relational or comparison operator. It is used for assigning the value to a variable. It is used for comparing two values. It returns 1 if both the values are equal otherwise returns 0. Constant term cannot be placed on left hand side.
Assignment operators are used in programming to assign values to variables. We use an assignment operator to store and update data within a program. They enable programmers to store data in variables and manipulate that data. The most common assignment operator is the equals sign (=), which assigns the value on the right side of the operator to ...
A common syntax error experienced by beginner Python programmers is in using the assignment operator = instead of the equality operator == in a conditional expression:
The answer is same as Copy Constructor. If a class doesn't contain pointers, then there is no need to write assignment operator and copy constructor. The compiler creates a default copy constructor and assignment operators for every class. The compiler created copy constructor and assignment operator may not be sufficient when we have pointers or a
= is the assignment operator. It sets a variable (the left-hand side) to a value (the right-hand side). The result is the value on the right-hand side. == is the comparison operator. It will only return true if both values are equivalent after coercing their types to the same type. === is a more strict comparison operator often called the ...
In python and other languages like C, "=" is a assignment operator and is used to assign a value to a variable. Example: a=2 # the value of a is 2. whereas "==" is Comparison operator and is used to check whether 2 expressions give the same value .Equality check returns true if it succeeds and else return false. Example: a=2 b=3 c=2.
