Comparison Operator Examples
Each example uses an IF statement to compare the values A and B and it will then output a message depending on the result of the comparison.
The part to pay attention to comes between the If and Then section of the code.
A < B
If A is less than B.
If A < B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A > B
If A is greater than B.
If A > B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A <= B
If A is less than or equal to B.
If A <= B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A >= B
If A is greater than or equal to B.
If A >= B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A = B
If A is equal to B.
If A = B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A <> B
If A is not equal to B.
If A <> B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
