Exercise 1 of 5

Ask Python a question

Two values are given below: a = 7 and b = 12. Using the less-than operator <, compute whether a is less than b and store the resulting Boolean in is_less. A comparison hands back True or False.

# The two values to compare:
a = 7
b = 12

is_less = ...  # your code here

# The two values to compare:
a = 7
b = 12

is_less = ...  # your code here
