Rich comparison methods are used for comparing object instances. It assigns special methods to each operator as given in below table. OperatorMethod==__eq__(self, other)!=__ne__(self, other)<__lt__(self, other)<=__le__(self, other)>__gt__(self, other)>=__ge__(self, other) The correspondence between operator symbols and method names is as follows: x < y calls x.__lt__(y), x>=y calls x.__ge__(y), and so on. [...]
