Problem Description:
The task involves decoding numbers using a secret code where each symbol represents a number. The decoded numbers are then compared using the symbols `<`, `>`, or `=`. The first row has been completed as an example.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Step 1: Understand the Secret Code
The secret code assigns numbers to symbols. From the first row, we can infer the following:
- `@` = 3
- `#` = 4
- `*` = 5
- `&` = 6
- `%` = 7
- `^` = 8
- `~` = 9
- `♥` = 0
####
Step 2: Decode Each Row
We will decode each row of symbols into numbers and then compare them using `<`, `>`, or `=`.

Row 1 (Already Done):
```
3 # 5 % 4 3 & * & ♥ # &
< > =
```
- Decoded: `3 < 4`, `5 > 4`, `3 = 3`, `6 = 6`
---
####
Row 2:
```
@ # ♥ ~ @ ^ @ ♥ ^ #
```
- Decoded: `3 # 0`, `~`, `@ ^ @`, `♥ ^ #`
- Numbers: `3 < 4`, `0`, `3 > 8`, `0 > 4`
- Comparisons: `3 < 4`, `0 < 9`, `3 < 8`, `0 < 4`
Final Answer for Row 2:
```
3 < 4 0 < 9 3 < 8 0 < 4
```
---
####
Row 3:
```
@ & ~ & ~ * ♥ ♥ ^ # ^
```
- Decoded: `@ &`, `~ & ~`, `* ♥ ♥`, `^ # ^`
- Numbers: `3 > 6`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
- Comparisons: `3 < 6`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
Final Answer for Row 3:
```
3 < 6 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
```
---
####
Row 4:
```
@ ♥ ~ & ~ * ♥ ♥ ^ # ^
```
- Decoded: `@ ♥`, `~ & ~`, `* ♥ ♥`, `^ # ^`
- Numbers: `3 = 0`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
- Comparisons: `3 ≠ 0`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
Final Answer for Row 4:
```
3 ≠ 0 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
```
---
####
Row 5:
```
@ ♥ ~ & ~ * ♥ ♥ ^ # ^
```
- Decoded: `@ ♥`, `~ & ~`, `* ♥ ♥`, `^ # ^`
- Numbers: `3 = 0`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
- Comparisons: `3 ≠ 0`, `9 > 6`, `5 > 0`, `8 > 4`
Final Answer for Row 5:
```
3 ≠ 0 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
```
---
Final Answer:
```
Row 1: 3 < 4 5 > 4 3 = 3 6 = 6
Row 2: 3 < 4 0 < 9 3 < 8 0 < 4
Row 3: 3 < 6 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
Row 4: 3 ≠ 0 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
Row 5: 3 ≠ 0 9 > 6 5 > 0 8 > 4
```
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{cccc}
\text{Row 1:} & 3 < 4 & 5 > 4 & 3 = 3 & 6 = 6 \\
\text{Row 2:} & 3 < 4 & 0 < 9 & 3 < 8 & 0 < 4 \\
\text{Row 3:} & 3 < 6 & 9 > 6 & 5 > 0 & 8 > 4 \\
\text{Row 4:} & 3 \neq 0 & 9 > 6 & 5 > 0 & 8 > 4 \\
\text{Row 5:} & 3 \neq 0 & 9 > 6 & 5 > 0 & 8 > 4 \\
\end{array}
}
