How do I use the relational operator in Java?

Relational operators used to compare any combination of integers, floating-point numbers, or characters. The result of relational operators is always in a boolean value, true or false. It is mostly used in an if statement test.

There are four relational operators in Java:

  • > greater than
  • >= greater than or equal to
  • < less than
  • <= less than or equal to
package org.kodejava.basic;

public class RelationalDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int value1 = 10, value2 = 25;
        int age = 15;
        double salary = 1000d;
        char char1 = 'd', char2 = 'f';

        if (value1 > value2) {
            System.out.format("%d is greater than %d %n", value1, value2);
        } else {
            System.out.format("%d is greater than %d %n", value2, value1);
        }

        if (age >= 12) {
            System.out.format("Hey, I am not a kid anymore %n");
        }

        if (char1 < char2) {
            System.out.format("%c is less than %c %n", char1, char2);
        } else {
            System.out.format("%c is less than %c %n", char2, char1);
        }

        if (salary <= 3000d) {
            System.out.println("Entry-level Staff");
        }
    }
}

An here are the result of the program:

25 is greater than 10 
Hey, I am not a kid anymore 
d is less than f 
Entry-level Staff
