Why it happens like that?

Question

Why it outputs second command though the numbers are the same?
public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a =6;
int b =6;
if (a<b)
System.out.println("A is less than B");
else
System.out.println("B is less than A");

The output is: B is less than A

}
}

Thank you codemonkey

Answer 2

Thanks Tibor Santa. I understand it.

Answer 3

You are not checking for equality. You can modify your conditions like this:

if (a==b)
System.out.println("A is equal to B");
else if (a<b)
System.out.println("A is less than B");
else
System.out.println("B is less than A");
