Relational Operators

Following table shows the relational operators supported by R language. Each element of the first vector is compared with the corresponding element of the second vector. The result of comparison is a Boolean value.

Operator Description Example
> Checks if each element of the first vector is greater than the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a>b)

it produces the following result −

[1] FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
< Checks if each element of the first vector is less than the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a < b)

it produces the following result −

[1]  TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE
== Checks if each element of the first vector is equal to the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a == b)

it produces the following result −

[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
<= Checks if each element of the first vector is less than or equal to the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a<=b)

it produces the following result −

[1]  TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE
>= Checks if each element of the first vector is greater than or equal to the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a>=b)

it produces the following result −

[1] FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE
!= Checks if each element of the first vector is unequal to the corresponding element of the second vector. 
a <- c(2,5.5,6,9)
b <- c(8,2.5,14,9)
print(a!=b)

it produces the following result −

[1]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE

> x<y
[1] TRUE
> x>y
[1] FALSE
> x<=5

[1] FALSE
> y == 16
[1] TRUE
> x != 5
[1] FALSE
