listings package doesn't render brackets correctly

Question

I'm trying to list some code using the listings package, however if use ttfamily font, brackets don't render correctly. This is what it looks like

Answer 1

First of please always post a full minimal example others can copy and test as is.

It is a known fact that <> used in text gives ¡ and ¿ if running under pdflatex and without \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} as the default font encoding OT1 performs many loops.

Thus for pdflatex the solution is to add

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

to your preamble.
