I thought = was a mathematical operator, not a logical operator; why does Python use

>= instead of >==, or <= instead of <==, or != instead of !==?

Thanks in advance for any clarification. I would have posted this in the help forums of FreeCodeCamp, but I wasn't sure if this question was too.......unspecified(?) for that domain.

Cheers!

I get your point of view, and haven't thought about it that way before.

As for why it's like that, my best guess is the sentence I wrote above. Your proposal totally makes sense.
