[Tutor] how to compare elements of 2 lists

[sith .]

Hi,
I've read the posts on comparing 2 lists and couldn't find the answer to my question.
  I have 2 lists
  a = [4,3,2,6,7,9]
b = [8,6,3,3,2,7]
  How can I determine if the elements in a are larger or smaller than the elements in b.
   
  for i in a:
    for u in b:
        i > u
  does not return the result I seek.

In this example, 4 from a is compared to 8,6,3,3,2,7 then 3 from a is compared to all the elements in b.
I'd like 
4 to 8, 
3 to 6, 
2 to 3 and so on; like 2 columns in excel, the third column would be a new list of boolean values.
  Can someone help please?  Thank you.
