（22）比较运算符 | Java编程那些事

## Java编程那些事儿22—比较运算符郑州游戏学院陈跃峰出自：[http://blog.csdn.net/mailbomb](http://blog.csdn.net/mailbomb) **4.2 比较运算符** 比较运算符实现数据之间大小或相等的比较。比较运算符运算的结果是一个boolean类型的值，如果比较结果成立则为true，否则为false。 Java语言中比较运算符的表示和功能见下表4-2。表4-2 比较运算符 <table style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none;

boolean b = (a > 3); //该条件成立，则将值true赋值给变量b boolean c = (b == true); //条件成立，结果为true ~~~ 在实际代码中，数值、变量以及运算结果都可以直接参与比较，只是程序中为了增强可读性，有些时候需要将比较分开进行书写。比较运算符是程序设计中实现数据比较的基础，也是很多逻辑实现的基础，在程序逻辑中，经常通过比较一定的条件，来判断后续的程序该如何执行。
