Python Comparison OperatorsĪ comparison operator, also called python relational operator, compares the values on both sides of the operator to classify the relation between them as either true or false. The above example will print 'not equal' as x = 2 as assigned earlier. The is operator is the object identity operator used to check if two objects in fact are the same and its negation is not : x is y is true if and only if x and y are the same object. So if the two variables have the same values but they are of different type, then not equal operator will return True. Python is dynamically, but strongly typed, and other statically typed languages would complain about comparing different types. The python != ( not equal operator ) return True, if the values of the two Python operands given on each side of the operator are not equal, otherwise false. In this section, you will learn how you can compare a string in an if-else statement in Python. The result of the operation is a Boolean.

You can use '!=' and 'is not' for not equal operation in Python. Python not equal comparison is done with, the not equal operator. a 0 b 1 if a b: print('a is not equal to b') Output: a is not equal to b.
