With this example we are going to demonstrate how to compare integers. The comparation between two integers can be performed using the greater than and less than symbols. In short, to compare two integers i1 and i2 you should:
- Check if
i1is greater thani2in anifstatement. If it is true, that means thati1is greater thani2. - Check if
i1is less thani2in anelse ifstatement. If it is true, that means thati1is less thani2. - Code inside the
elsestatement will be executed when aboveifstatements are both false.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.basics;
public class CompareIntegers {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i1 = 12;
int i2 = 43;
if (i1 > i2) {
System.out.println(i1 + " is greater than " + i2);
}
else if (i1 < i2) {
System.out.println(i1 + " is less than " + i2);
}
else {
System.out.println(i1 + " is equal to " + i2);
}
}
}
Output:
12 is less than 43
This was an example of how to compare integers in Java.
