Ruby Comparison Operators
There has been lots of questions on the comparison operators. So we yanked it for you..
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
== | Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if yes then condition becomes true. | (a == b) is not true. |
!= | Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then condition becomes true. | (a != b) is true. |
> | Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. | (a > b) is not true. |
< | Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. | (a < b) is true. |
>= | Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. | (a >= b) is not true. |
<= | Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. | (a <= b) is true. |
<=> | Combined comparison operator. Returns 0 if first operand equals second, 1 if first operand is greater than the second and -1 if first operand is less than the second. | (a <=> b) returns -1. |
=== | Used to test equality within a when clause of a case statement. | (1...10) === 5 returns true. |
.eql? | True if the receiver and argument have both the same type and equal values. | 1 == 1.0 returns true, but 1.eql?(1.0) is false. |
equal? | True if the receiver and argument have the same object id. | 1 == 1.0 returns true, but 1.eql?(1.0) is false. |
