Lesson Introduction and Plan

Hey there! Today, we're delving into the essential world of Rust comparison operators. These operators play a crucial role in controlling the flow of code by comparing values.

Our goal is to understand comparison operators and their applications in Rust programs. We'll explore several Rust comparison operators and enhance your understanding through realistic examples.

Exploring Rust Comparison Operators

Imagine you are navigating a submarine underwater. Here, routes are determined by evaluating conditions such as the distances to underwater artifacts. These judgment calls are similar to comparisons, mirroring scenarios in programming. In Rust, we use comparison operators to make such determinations.

Rust features six comparison operators: equal to (==), not equal to (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (>=), and less than or equal to (<=). Each of these produces either true or false, commonly referred to as boolean values.

For example, consider the following comparison of a submarine's speed with that of a whale:
