You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Basic Data Operation
This is a basic data operation. It represents a fundamental action on a basic data type.
You may see other such operations in the Basic Data Operations category, or:

Addresses
Get two integers from the user.
Then, display a message if the first integer is:
- less than,
- equal to, or
- greater than
the second integer.
Test the condition for each case separately, so that all three comparison operators are used in the code.

6502 Assembly
Code is called as a subroutine (i.e. JSR Compare). Specific OS/hardware routines for user input and printing are left unimplemented. It should be noted that this is strictly an unsigned comparison. <lang 6502asm>Compare PHA ;push Accumulator onto stack JSR GetUserInput ;routine not implemented ;integers to compare now in memory locations A and B LDA A CMP B ;sets flags as if a subtraction (a - b) had been carried out BCC A_less_than_B ;branch if carry clear BEQ A_equals_B ;branch if equal ;else A greater than B JSR DisplayAGreaterThanB;routine not implemented JMP Done A_less_than_B: JSR DisplayALessThanB ;routine not implemented JMP Done A_equals_B: JSR DisplayAEqualsB ;routine not implemented Done: PLA ;restore Accumulator from stack RTS ;return from subroutine</lang>
68000 Assembly
The task of getting input from the user is much more difficult in assembly since it hasn't been done for you unlike nearly all other languages. So that part will be omitted to focus on the actual comparison.
In assembly, the only difference between a signed integer and an unsigned integer is the comparator(s) used to evaluate it. Therefore we have two different versions of this task.
Unsigned Comparison
<lang 68000devpac>Compare:
- integers to compare are in D0 and D1
CMP.L D1,D0 BCS .less ;D1 < D0
- else, carry clear, which implies greater than or equal to.
BNE .greater ;D1 > D0
- else, d1 = d0
LEA Equal,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return .greater: LEA GreaterThan,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return .less: LEA LessThan,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return
LessThan:
dc.b "second integer less than first",0
even
GreaterThan:
dc.b "second integer greater than first",0
even
Equal:
dc.b "both are equal",0
even</lang>
Signed Comparison
<lang 68000devpac>Compare:
- integers to compare are in D0 and D1
CMP.L D1,D0 BLT .less ;D1 < D0
- else, carry clear, which implies greater than or equal to.
BNE .greater ;D1 > D0
- else, d1 = d0
LEA Equal,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return .greater: LEA GreaterThan,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return .less: LEA LessThan,A0 JMP PrintString ;and use its RTS to return
LessThan:
dc.b "second integer less than first",0
even
GreaterThan:
dc.b "second integer greater than first",0
even
Equal:
dc.b "both are equal",0
even</lang>
8051 Assembly
Input/output is specific to hardware; this code assumes the integers are in registers a and b. There is only one comparison instruction to use: 'not equal'. <lang asm>compare: push psw cjne a, b, clt ; a == b ; implement code here jmp compare_ clt: jc lt ; a > b ; implement code here jmp compare_ lt: ; a < b ; implement code here compare_: pop psw ret</lang> Testing for (a <= b) or (a >= b) can be performed by changing the jumps.
8th
The user would put the numbers on the stack and then invoke 'compare': <lang forth>
- compare \ n m --
2dup n:= if "They are equal" . cr then 2dup n:< if "First less than second" . cr then n:> if "First greater than second" . cr then ;
</lang> Alternatively one could use the "n:cmp" word
AArch64 Assembly
Compare once (cmp x0, x1
) and use conditional branching (b.eq
and b.gt
).
<lang ARM_Assembly>.equ STDOUT, 1

ALGOL 68
Note: the standard includes the characters "≤", "≥" and "≠". These appear in the character sets GOST 10859, ISOtech and IBM's EBCDIC e.g. code page 293, and in extended ASCII code pages 910 & 910
The above distributions of both ALGOL 68G and ELLA ALGOL 68 compilers only allow ASCII characters (ASCII has neither "≤", "≥" nor "≠" characters). <lang algol68>main: (
INT a, b; read((a, space, b, new line));
IF a <= b OR a LE b # OR a ≤ b # THEN print((a," is less or equal to ", b, new line)) FI; IF a < b OR a LT b THEN print((a," is less than ", b, new line)) ELIF a = b OR a EQ b THEN print((a," is equal to ", b, new line)) ELIF a > b OR a GT b THEN print((a," is greater than ", b, new line)) FI; IF a /= b OR a NE b # OR a ≠ b # THEN print((a," is not equal to ", b, new line)) FI; IF a >= b OR a GE b # OR a ≥ b # THEN print((a," is greater or equal to ", b, new line)) FI

AutoHotkey
Error checking is performed automatically by attaching UpDowns to each of the Edit controls. UpDown controls always yield an in-range number, even when the user has typed something non-numeric or out-of-range in the Edit control.

In awk, a double equals symbol is required to test for equality. A single equals sign is used for assignment, and will cause a bug if it is used within a boolean expression:

Clojure
Creates an infinite sequence of calls to "read an object from the user", and assigns the first two elements to a and b, without evaluating the rest. It evaluates the when/println body three times, each time with op and string bound to their corresponding entries in the list of three operator/string pairs. Note that this does no validation on input: if the user inputs a string then an exception will be thrown. <lang Clojure>(let [[a b] (repeatedly read)]

Common Lisp
You can type this directly into a REPL:
<lang lisp>(let ((a (read *standard-input*))
(b (read *standard-input*))) (cond ((not (numberp a)) (format t "~A is not a number." a)) ((not (numberp b)) (format t "~A is not a number." b)) ((< a b) (format t "~A is less than ~A." a b)) ((> a b) (format t "~A is greater than ~A." a b)) ((= a b) (format t "~A is equal to ~A." a b)) (t (format t "Cannot determine relevance between ~A and ~B!" a b)))))</lang>
After hitting enter, the REPL is expecting the two numbers right away. You can enter the two numbers, and the result will print immediately. Alternatively, you can wrap this code in a function definition:
<lang lisp>(defun compare-integers ()
(let ((a (read *standard-input*)) (b (read *standard-input*))) (cond ((not (numberp a)) (format t "~A is not a number." a)) ((not (numberp b)) (format t "~A is not a number." b)) ((< a b) (format t "~A is less than ~A." a b)) ((> a b) (format t "~A is greater than ~A." a b)) ((= a b) (format t "~A is equal to ~A." a b)) (t (format t "Cannot determine relevance between ~A and ~B!" a b)))))</lang>
Then, execute the function for better control:
(compare-integers)
Computer/zero Assembly
The only conditional instruction we have is BRZ (branch on accumulator zero). We can therefore test for equality very quickly. To test for "greater than" or "less than", however, requires a loop.
If you run this program, it will halt awaiting user input. Toggle in the value of , then click Enter, then toggle in , then Enter, and then Run. and must both be unsigned eight-bit integers. The computer will halt with the accumulator storing 1 if >, 0 if =, or -1 if <; and it will be ready for a fresh pair of integers to be entered. <lang czasm>start: STP ; get input
x: NOP y: NOP
LDA x SUB y BRZ start ; x=y, A=0

Fortran
In ALL Fortran versions (including original 1950's era) you could use an "arithmetic IF" statement to compare using subtraction: <lang fortran>program arithif integer a, b
c fortran 77 I/O statements, for simplicity read(*,*) a, b
if ( a - b ) 10, 20, 30 10 write(*,*) a, ' is less than ', b
goto 40
20 write(*,*) a, ' is equal to ', b
goto 40
30 write(*,*) a, ' is greater than ', b 40 continue
end</lang>
In ANSI FORTRAN 66 or later you could use relational operators (.lt., .gt., .eq., etc.) and unstructured IF statements: <lang fortran>program compare integer a, b c fortran 77 I/O statements, for simplicity read(*,*) a, b
if (a .lt. b) write(*, *) a, ' is less than ', b if (a .eq. b) write(*, *) a, ' is equal to ', b if (a .gt. b) write(*, *) a, ' is greater than ', b end</lang>
In ANSI FORTRAN 77 or later you can use relational operators and structured IF statements: <lang fortran>program compare integer a, b read(*,*) a, b
if (a .lt. b) then
write(*, *) a, ' is less than ', b
else if (a .eq. b) then
write(*, *) a, ' is equal to ', b
else if (a .gt. b) then
write(*, *) a, ' is greater than ', b
end if
end</lang>
In ISO Fortran 90 or later you can use symbolic relational operators (<, >, ==, etc.) <lang fortran>program compare integer :: a, b read(*,*) a, b
if (a < b) then
write(*, *) a, ' is less than ', b
else if (a == b) then

FutureBasic
Note: Strictly speaking, it's preferable to use "==" when comparing integers as seen in this example. While the "=" sign will work as a comparison in most cases, technically it should be used for assignment, i.e. a = 3 when a is assigned the value of 3, as contrasted with a == 3, where the value of a is being compared with 3. FB will flag a warning when "==" is used to compare two single, doubles or floats since comparing real numbers can be inaccurate. <lang futurebasic>_window = 1 begin enum 1

Fōrmulæ
Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.
Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website, However they run on execution servers. By default remote servers are used, but they are limited in memory and processing power, since they are intended for demonstration and casual use. A local server can be downloaded and installed, it has no limitations (it runs in your own computer). Because of that, example programs can be fully visualized and edited, but some of them will not run if they require a moderate or heavy computation/memory resources, and no local server is being used.
In this page you can see the program(s) related to this task and their results.

LT -> "A is less than B" GT -> "A is greater than B" EQ -> "A equals B"</lang>

(Note: in Python3 input() will become int(input()))
An alternative implementation could use a Python dictionary to house a small dispatch table to be indexed by the results of the built-in cmp() function. cmp() returns a value suitable for use as a comparison function in a sorting algorithm: -1, 0 or 1 for <, = or > respectively. Thus we could use:
<lang Python>#!/usr/bin/env python import sys try:
a = input('Enter value of a: ') b = input('Enter value of b: ')
except (ValueError, EnvironmentError), err:
print sys.stderr, "Erroneous input:", err sys.exit(1)
dispatch = {
-1: 'is less than', 0: 'is equal to', 1: 'is greater than' } print a, dispatch[cmp(a,b)], b</lang>
In this case the use of a dispatch table is silly. However, more generally in Python the use of dispatch dictionaries or tables is often preferable to long chains of elif' clauses in a condition statement. Python's support of classes and functions (including currying, partial function support, and lambda expressions) as first class objects obviates the need for a "case" or "switch" statement.

Ruby
This uses Kernel#gets to get input from STDIN, and String#to_i to convert the string into an integer. (Without this conversion, Ruby would compare strings: 5 < 10 but "5" > "10".)
<lang ruby>a = (print "enter a value for a: "; gets).to_i b = (print "enter a value for b: "; gets).to_i
puts "#{a} is less than #{b}" if a < b puts "#{a} is greater than #{b}" if a > b puts "#{a} is equal to #{b}" if a == b</lang>
Another way:
<lang ruby>a = (print "enter a value for a: "; gets).to_i b = (print "enter a value for b: "; gets).to_i
case a <=> b when -1; puts "#{a} is less than #{b}" when 0; puts "#{a} is equal to #{b}" when +1; puts "#{a} is greater than #{b}" end</lang>
Example input and output:
$ '''ruby compare.rb''' enter a value for a: '''5''' enter a value for b: '''10''' 5 is less than 10 $ '''ruby compare.rb''' enter a value for a: '''cat''' enter a value for b: '''dog''' 0 is equal to 0
An alternative method, which is similar to the python version mentioned above (at the time of writing this) is: <lang ruby># Function to make prompts nice and simple to abuse def prompt str
print str, ": " gets.chomp
end
- Get value of a
a = prompt('Enter value of a').to_i
- Get value of b
b = prompt('Enter value of b').to_i
- The dispatch hash uses the <=> operator
- When doing x<=>y:
- -1 means x is less than y
- 0 means x is equal to y
- 1 means x is greater than y
dispatch = {
-1 => "less than", 0 => "equal to", 1 => "greater than"
}
- I hope you can figure this out
puts "#{a} is #{dispatch[a<=>b]} #{b}"</lang>

SNOBOL4
Comparisons in Snobol are not operators, but predicate functions that return a null string and generate a success or failure value which allows or blocks statement execution, and which can be tested for branching. Other numeric comparisons are ge (>=), le (<=) and ne (!= ). There is also a parallel set of L-prefixed predicates in modern Snobols for lexical string comparison.

output = 'Enter X,Y:' trim(input) break(',') . x ',' rem . y

end</lang>
SNUSP
There are no built-in comparison operators, but you can (destructively) check which of two adjacent cells is most positive. <lang snusp>++++>++++ a b !/?\<?\# a=b

SSEM
The SSEM only provides one conditional operation: 011 Test, which causes execution to skip one instruction if the value in the accumulator is negative. We can use this to implement conditional tests along the lines of the following pseudocode:
accumulator := a - b; if accumulator >= 0 then (* a is not less than b, so *) goto next_test else goto less; next_test: accumulator := accumulator - 1; if accumulator >= 0 then goto greater else (* a and b are equal *) accumulator := 0; halt; greater: accumulator := 1; halt; less: accumulator := -1; halt
To run the SSEM program, load A into storage address 21 and B into storage address 22. No additional space is used. Like the pseudocode version, the program halts with the accumulator holding 1 if A>B, 0 if A=B, or -1 if A<B. <lang ssem>10101000000000100000000000000000 0. -21 to c 10101000000001100000000000000000 1. c to 21 10101000000000100000000000000000 2. -21 to c 01101000000000010000000000000000 3.

Standard ML
<lang sml>fun compare_integers(a, b) =
if a < b then print "A is less than B\n" if a > b then print "A is greater than B\n" if a = b then print "A equals B\n"
fun test () = let open TextIO val SOME a = Int.fromString (input stdIn) val SOME b = Int.fromString (input stdIn) in compare_integers (a, b) end handle Bind => print "Invalid number entered!\n"</lang>
A more idiomatic and less error-prone way to do it in SML would be to use a compare function that returns type order, which is either LESS, GREATER, or EQUAL: <lang sml>fun myCompare (a, b) = case Int.compare (a, b) of
LESS => "A is less than B" | GREATER => "A is greater than B" | EQUAL => "A equals B"</lang>
Swift
<lang Swift>import Cocoa

println("Enter two integers separated by a space: ")
let data = input.availableData let stringArray = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)?.componentsSeparatedByString(" ") var a:Int! var b:Int! if (stringArray?.count == 2) {
a = stringArray![0].integerValue b = stringArray![1].integerValue
} if (a==b) {println("\(a) equals \(b)")} if (a < b) {println("\(a) is less than \(b)")} if (a > b) {println("\(a) is greater than \(b)")}</lang>
- Output:
Enter two integers separated by a space: 234 233 234 is greater than 233
Tcl
This is not how one would write this in Tcl, but for the sake of clarity:
<lang tcl>puts "Please enter two numbers:"
gets stdin x gets stdin y
if { $x > $y } { puts "$x is greater than $y" } if { $x < $y } { puts "$x is less than $y" } if { $x == $y } { puts "$x equals $y" }</lang>
Other comparison operators are "<=", ">=" and "!=".
Note that Tcl doesn't really have a notion of a variable "type" - all variables are just strings of bytes and notions like "integer" only ever enter at interpretation time. Thus the above code will work correctly for "5" and "6", but "5" and "5.5" will also be compared correctly. It will not be an error to enter "hello" for one of the numbers ("hello" is greater than any integer). If this is a problem, the type can be expressly cast
<lang tcl>if {int($x) > int($y)} { puts "$x is greater than $y" }</lang>
or otherwise type can be checked with "if { string is integer $x }..."
Note that there is no substitution/evaluation here anywhere: entering "3*5" and "15" will parse "3*5" as a non-numerical string (like "hello") and thus the result will be "3*5 is greater than 15".
A variant that iterates over comparison operators, demonstrated in an interactive tclsh: <lang Tcl>% set i 5;set j 6 % foreach {o s} {< "less than" > "greater than" == equal} {if [list $i $o $j] {puts "$i is $s $j"}} 5 is less than 6 % set j 5 % foreach {o s} {< "less than" > "greater than" == equal} {if [list $i $o $j] {puts "$i is $s $j"}} 5 is equal 5 % set j 4 % foreach {o s} {< "less than" > "greater than" == equal} {if [list $i $o $j] {puts "$i is $s $j"}} 5 is greater than 4</lang>

UNIX Shell
There are multiple examples here, because each shell has a different form of the 'read' command.
<lang bash>#!/bin/ksh

builtin printf
integer a=0 integer b=0
read a?"Enter value of a: " || { print -u2 "Input of a aborted." ; exit 1 ; } read b?"Enter value of b: " || { print -u2 "Input of b aborted." ; exit 1 ; }
if (( a < b )) ; then
printf "%d is less than %d\n" a b
fi if (( a == b )) ; then
printf "%d is equal to %d\n" a b
fi if (( a > b )) ; then
printf "%d is greater than %d\n" a b

One can backport the previous code to pdksh, which has no builtin printf, but can call /usr/bin/printf as an external program.
