2. Not equal (!=): Compares if two variables do not have the same value.nEXAMPLE: IF NUM1 != NUM2 THEN ...n
3. Greater than (>): Compares if one variable has a higher value than another.nEXAMPLE: IF AMOUNT > 500 THEN ...n
4. Less than (<): Compares if one variable has a lower value than another.nEXAMPLE: IF AGE < 18 THEN ...n
5. Greater than or equal to (>=): Compares if one variable is greater than or equal to another.nEXAMPLE: IF SALARY >= 3000 THEN ...n
