Comparison operators can be used in conjunction with Boolean operators to construct the expressions that we need to evaluate as true/false for the output of our pipeline's stage.

The most commonly used operators are listed here:

• $eq ( equal )
• $ne ( not equal)
• $gt (greater than)
• $gte (greater than or equal)
• $lt
• $lte

All the aforementioned mentioned operators return a Boolean value of true or false.

The only operator not returning a Boolean value is $cmp, which returns 0 if the two arguments are equivalent, 1 if the first value is greater than the second, and -1 if the second value is greater than the first.
