  <paragraph>The predefined integer comparison operators are: <code_example><![CDATA[

  <paragraph>Each of these operators compares the numeric values of the two integer operands and returns a <keyword>bool</keyword> value that indicates whether the particular relation is true or false. </paragraph>
