Comparison operators

Booleans are quite useful because they can represent represent the result of a comparison between values. For instance, the following comparison operators return a boolean which determines if the comparison is true or false.

print(1 == 1)
print(2 > 3)

which prints

True
False

Here is a list of comparison operators in Python:

• <: less than
• <=: less than or equal
• >: more than
• >=: more than or equal
• ==: equal
• !=: not equal
• is: same object identity
• is not: different object identity

Note: The difference between is and == is that is requires the objects to be the same, not just the values. We will see examples of this later in this module.

Instructions

Create the following variables:

• n_points and set it to 5
• n_min_points and set it to 0
• n_max_points and set it to 100

Finally, create a variable called is_in_range and set it to the result of applying the comparison operators to check if n_points is between n_min_points and n_max_points (i.e. greater or equal than the minimum and smaller or equal than the maximum).

Note: You will need to use the and boolean operator (see previous items).
