Notes

• Works with numbers, dates, and comparable types
• Includes equality (=) unlike < operator
• String comparison is case-sensitive and uses lexicographic ordering
• Date comparison compares chronological order
• Cannot compare incompatible types
• Commonly used with `` for conditional rendering
• Can be combined with logical operators (&&, ||)
