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` 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` 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` 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` 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` 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` it produces the following result − `[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE`
