VBA - Comparison Operators

There are following comparison operators supported by VBA.

Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then −

Operator	Description	Example
=	Checks if the value of the two operands are equal or not. If yes, then the condition is true.	(A = B) is False.
<>	Checks if the value of the two operands are equal or not. If the values are not equal, then the condition is true.	(A <> B) is True.
>	Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition is true.	(A > B) is False.
<	Checks if the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition is true.	(A < B) is True.
>=	Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition is true.	(A >= B) is False.
<=	Checks if the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition is true.	(A <= B) is True.

Example

Try the following example to understand all the Comparison operators available in VBA.

Private Sub Constant_demo_Click()
   Dim a: a = 10
   Dim b: b = 20
   Dim c

   If a = b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 1 : True")
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 1 : False")
   End If

   If a<>b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 2 : True")    
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 2 : False")    
   End If

   If a>b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 3 : True")    
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 3 : False")    
   End If

   If a<b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 4 : True")    
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 4 : False")    
   End If

   If a>=b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 5 : True")    
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 5 : False")    
   End If

   If a<=b Then
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 6 : True")
   Else
      MsgBox ("Operator Line 6 : False")
   End If

End Sub

When you execute the above script, it will produce the following result.

Operator Line 1 : False

Operator Line 2 : True

Operator Line 3 : False

Operator Line 4 : True

Operator Line 5 : False

Operator Line 6 : True
