Go Comparison Operators
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two values.
Note: The return value of a comparison is either true (1) or false (0).
In the following example, we use the greater than operator (>) to find out if 5 is greater than 3:
Example
package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
var x = 5
var y = 3
fmt.Println(x>y) // returns 1 (true) because 5 is greater than 3
}
