IN sql query we are familiar in this conditional operator
<, <=, >, >=
IN mongo db json we have to write
  1. db.collection.find({ "field" : { $gt: value } } ); // greater than : field > value
  2. db.collection.find({ "field" : { $lt: value } } ); // less than : field < value
  3. db.collection.find({ "field" : { $gte: value } } ); // greater than or equal to : field >= value
  4. db.collection.find({ "field" : { $lte: value } } ); // less than or equal to : field <= value
For example
  1. db.things.find({j : {$lt: 3}});
  2. db.things.find({j : {$gte: 4}});
You can also combine these operators to specify ranges:
  1. db.collection.find({ "field" : { $gt: value1, $lt: value2 } } ); // value1 < field < value
