Can you combine multiple comparison operators in a single Firebase query?

Yes, you can combine multiple comparison operators using chained where() calls, but there are some limitations on combining range filters on different fields.

Why is it important to use comparison operators correctly in Firebase queries?

Using comparison operators correctly ensures you get the right documents from your database efficiently and avoid errors or unexpected results.

Which operator would you use to find documents where a field is exactly 10?

A >=

B <

C <=

D ==

The '==' operator checks for exact equality.

What does the '>=' operator include in its results?

A Only values greater than the specified value

B Values equal to or greater than the specified value

C Only values less than the specified value

D Values equal to or less than the specified value

'>=' means greater than or equal to the value.

Can you use '<' and '>' operators on different fields in the same Firebase query?

A No, Firebase does not allow multiple range filters on different fields

B Yes, without any restrictions

C Only if the fields are indexed

D Only in realtime database, not Firestore

Firebase limits range filters to one field per query.

Which operator would you use to find documents with a field value less than 100?

A >

B <=

C <

D ==

'<' filters for values less than the specified number.

What happens if you use '==' with a field that does not exist in some documents?

A Those documents are excluded

B Those documents are included

C Query returns an error

D Firebase automatically creates the field

Documents missing the field do not match the equality condition.

Explain how to use comparison operators in Firebase queries to filter data.

Think about how you ask a friend to find items matching certain conditions.

Describe the difference between '>' and '>=' operators in Firebase queries.

Consider if the exact value is included or not.
