      <Abstract>Fixed-point theory converts the solution of an equation into the search for a point that is unchanged by an operator. Among its most constructive results is the contraction principle, because it gives existence, uniqueness, and an iterative method simultaneously. This paper presents a comparative study of major contraction mappings in ordinary and generalised metric spaces. Banach, Edelstein, Kannan, Chatterjea, Reich__ampersandsignndash;Hardy__ampersandsignndash;Rogers, Boyd__ampersandsignndash;Wong, Meir__ampersandsignndash;Keeler, __ampersandsign#262;iri__ampersandsign#263;, and Nadler contractions are formulated and related through their governing inequalities</Abstract>
