In R, we can compare two numbers using comparison operators. There are six comparison operators in R as listed below:
1. > (greater than): It returns TRUE if the left operand is greater than the right operand, otherwise FALSE.
2. < (less than): It returns TRUE if the left operand is less than the right operand, otherwise FALSE.
3. >= (greater than or equal to): It returns TRUE if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, otherwise FALSE.
4. <= (less than or equal to): It returns TRUE if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand, otherwise FALSE.
5. == (equal to): It returns TRUE if the two operands are equal, otherwise FALSE.
6. != (not equal to): It returns TRUE if the two operands are not equal, otherwise FALSE.
Here are some examples for comparing numbers using these operators in R:
# Greater than operator
3 > 2 # TRUE
5 > 7 # FALSE
# Less than operator
2 < 3 # TRUE
6 < 4 # FALSE
# Greater than or equal to operator
4 >= 4 # TRUE
5 >= 7 # FALSE
# Less than or equal to operator
9 <= 9 # TRUE
8 <= 5 # FALSE
# Equal to operator
2 == 2 # TRUE
6 == 3 # FALSE
# Not equal to operator
3 != 4 # TRUE
8 != 8 # FALSE
These comparison operators can be used in combination with conditional statements and loops to build more complex programs in R.
