Equal to

=

Is valid if A is equal to B

Given that x = 4, the expression (x > 4) is false

Not equal to

!=

Is valid if A is not equal to B

2 != 3 (this is correct because 2 does not equal 3).

2 != 2 (this is not correct because 2 is 2)

And

&&

Is valid if both A and B are correct

Given that x = 6 and y = 3, the expression (x < 10 && y > 1) is true

Or

||

Is valid if either A or B is correct

Given that x = 6 and y = 3, the expression (x = 5 || y = 5) is false
