# Using comparators in a segment

You use a comparator in a segment to compare the data between fields or values in a rule group. Comparators are based on data types.

You can select a comparator from any of the following categories:

- [String](https://doc.sitecore.com/cdp/en/users/sitecore-cdp/introduction-to-batch-segmentation/create-and-add-rules-to-a-segment-in-sitecore-cdp/using-comparators-in-a-segment/using-string-comparators-in-a-segment.html "Using string comparators in a segment")
