Complete the inequality by choosing the inequality sign which makes the expression true: \[ 2^{4} \] \[ \text { in } \quad 3^{2} \]

Step 1 ：Calculate the value of \(2^{4}\) to get 16

Step 2 ：Calculate the value of \(3^{2}\) to get 9

Step 3 ：Compare the two values to determine the correct inequality sign

Step 4 ：The correct inequality sign is \(\boxed{>}\)
