I could not understand the result of foll EL expressions :-


${ "7" < false } - true

${ "7" <= false } - true

${ "7" >= false } - false

${ "7" >= true } - false

${ "7" > true } - false


for relational operators the rule is -

"If one of them is a String coerce the other to String and compare lexically". How is this rule
applied to above expressions

ASCII Values of numbers are lesser than that of the alphabets. So when they are compared lexically "7" comes before "false" or "true".
