Haskell: Comparison operators

Comparison operators determine if one operand is greater than, less than, equal to, or not equal to another operand.

Operator	Description	Example
==	Equal to	a==b returns true if a is equal to b, else false
/=	Not equal to	a/=b returns true if a is not equal to b, else false.
>	Greater than	a>b returns true, if a is > b, else false
>=	Greater than or equal to	a>=b returns true, if a is >= b, else false.
<	Less than	a<b returns true, if a is < b, else false.
<=	Less than or equal to	a<=b returns true, if a is <= b, else false.

*Main> let a = 10
*Main> let b = 12
*Main> 
*Main> a == b
False
*Main> a /= b
True
*Main> a > b
False
*Main> a < b
True
*Main> a >= b
False
*Main> a <= b
True

Operators are implemented as functions internally.

10 == 12 is represented as '(==) 10 12', note that the function name must be enclosed in parenthesis.

*Main> (==) 10 12
False
*Main> (/=) 10 12
True
*Main> (>) 10 12
False
*Main> (<) 10 12
True
*Main> (>=) 10 12
False
*Main> (<=) 10 12
True
