title: How does list comparison work?
body: <p>I want to compare two lists. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = [8,9,9,11] 
  
  b = [8,7,20,10]
  
  if a &gt;= b :
  
     print "true"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why does this print <code>"true"</code>? I want to compare the values <em>vertically</em> like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>8 &gt;= 8 is true
  
  9 &gt;= 7 is true
  
  9 &gt;= 20 is false but the program return true
  
  11 &gt;= 10 is true
  </code></pre>
