Chain Comparison Operators

Certification: Basic Level Accuracy: 33.19% Submissions: 238 Points: 5

Write a Python program to chain multiple comparison operators.

Example 1
    
  
  • Input: a = 5, b = 10, c = 15
    • 
  
  • Output: 
    
      
      
    • a < b < c → True
      • 
      
    • a > b < c → False
      • 
    
    
  
    • 
  
  • Explanation: 
    
      
      
    • Step 1: For a < b < c, check if a < b (5 < 10) and b < c (10 < 15).
      • 
      
    • Step 2: Since both conditions are True, the result is True.
      • 
      
    • Step 3: For a > b < c, check if a > b (5 > 10) and b < c (10 < 15).
      • 
      
    • Step 4: Since a > b is False, the entire expression evaluates to False.
      •

Example 2
    
  
  • Input: x = 100, y = 200, z = 300
    • 
  
  • Output: 
    
      
      
    • x < y < z → True
      • 
      
    • x > y > z → False
      • 
    
    
  
    • 
  
  • Explanation: 
    
      
      
    • Step 1: For x < y < z, check if x < y (100 < 200) and y < z (200 < 300).
      • 
      
    • Step 2: Since both conditions are True, the result is True.
      • 
      
    • Step 3: For x > y > z, check if x > y (100 > 200) and y > z (200 > 300).
      • 
      
    • Step 4: Since both x > y and y > z are False, the entire expression evaluates to False.

Constraints
    
  
  • -10^6 ≤ value ≤ 10^6 for each variable
    • 
  
  • All input values are integers
    • 
  
  • Maximum chain length: 5 comparisons
    • 
  
  • Time Complexity: O(1)
    • 
  
  • Space Complexity: O(1)

  • Chain comparisons automatically use logical AND
    • 

  •  Python evaluates chains from left to right
    •

The following are the steps to Chain Comparison Operators:

  • Define a function chain_comparison(a, b, c).

  • Use chained comparison operators (<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=) to compare values in a single expression.

  • Return the boolean result of the comparison.

  • Call chain_comparison(5, 10, 15) and print the result.
