relational operators

[jagadish thandra]

system.out.println(3>2);
the output is true.
how it happens
generally we compare the variables containg value
even the following code snipet behave similar.
system.out.println(3==3);
why the relational operators behaviour is like this

Hi jagadish.
Both lines of code produce true. 3 is greater than 2 & 3 is equal to 3. I'm not sure if this is what you were asking, hope it helps, Dave.

Hi,
System.out.println(3>2)
Inorder to carryout an operation the expression needs to evaluated. so the expression on either side of the relational operator(left to right)
are evalauted. This expression must evalaute to a value of numeric type. The expression '3' and '2' are constant expression(compile time constants as they always evaluate to a value) of type integer ,hence they behave in the same way as
int p,=10,q=20;

System.out.println(p>q) where p and q will
evaluate to value of numeric type
Hope this helps
thank u,
