Comparison Operators are useful for comparing one value to another. For example, if we wanted to compare the volume of two spheres, or the length of two lines, we would do so using a Comparison Operator. Let's have a look at some of the other Comparison Operators we can use. Before we do, however, let's have a quick look at the boolean data type, which I'm sure you've come across in Grasshopper. This simply contains a point driven by three sliders. For now, let's place a new Python component onto our canvas. And we'll double-click to open it up.
