To compare numbers in Ruby, you can use comparison operators. Below are some examples:
1. Greater than:
The greater than operator in Ruby is ">" (without quotes). It returns true if the left operand is greater than the right operand, and false otherwise. For example:
2 > 1 # returns true
1 > 2 # returns false
2. Less than:
The less than operator in Ruby is "<" (without quotes). It returns true if the left operand is less than the right operand, and false otherwise. For example:
1 < 2 # returns true
2 < 1 # returns false
3. Greater than or equal to:
The greater than or equal to operator in Ruby is ">=" (without quotes). It returns true if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, and false otherwise. For example:
2 >= 2 # returns true
3 >= 2 # returns true
1 >= 2 # returns false
4. Less than or equal to:
The less than or equal to operator in Ruby is "<=" (without quotes). It returns true if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand, and false otherwise. For example:
2 <= 2 # returns true
1 <= 2 # returns true
3 <= 2 # returns false
5. Equality:
The equality operator in Ruby is "==" (without quotes). It returns true if the operands are equal, and false otherwise. For example:
2 == 2 # returns true
2 == 3 # returns false
6. Inequality:
The inequality operator in Ruby is "!=" (without quotes). It returns true if the operands are not equal, and false otherwise. For example:
2 != 3 # returns true
2 != 2 # returns false
