To complete the code comparing the two numbers a
and b
in Boolean, you should use the equality operator ==
to check if the numbers are equal. Based on the values provided:
a = 12
b = 8
# Check if a is equal to b
result1 = a == b # This will evaluate to False since 12 is not equal to 8.
result2 = a = b # This is an assignment, which should generally not be used in Boolean comparisons.
result3 = a = b # This should not be here, as it doesn't relate to a comparison.
result4 = a == b # This is the correct comparison and will also be False.
print(result1) # This will print: False
print(result4) # This will also print: False
To clarify the statements:
a == b is true
→ this is false since 12 is not equal to 8.a = b is false
→ this is incorrect because it is an assignment, not a comparison.a = b is true
→ this is also incorrect because it is an assignment.a == b is false
→ this is true since 12 is indeed not equal to 8.
Thus, the appropriate completion would be:
a == b is false
