Using Relational Operators

Relational operators describe the relationship between two values. The relationship is expressed as one value being larger than, the same as, or smaller than another. You can use relational operators for both numeric and string variables, however you can only test variables of the same type. A numeric variable cannot be compared with a string variable.
