Greater Than (>) Comparison Operator

Summary

Returns true if the left operand is greater than the right operand.

Syntax

expression1 > expression2

Parameters

expression1: Any legal expression.
expression2: Any legal expression.

Description

The greater than operator compares the values of two expressions. If the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is greater than the evaluated value of the expression on the right, the greater than operator returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

If either expression has a JavaScript type (such as symbols declared with var, function, or external), the greater than operator will additionally - at runtime - convert the values of the expressions to the same type before comparing the values of the results.

Examples

Comparing Values

import System;
 
int x = 1, y = 2, z = 3;
Console.log(x > y); // false
Console.log(z > y); // true

Comparing Values in an 'if' statement

import System;
 
int x = 2;
 
if (x > 1) {
    Console.log("x is greater than 1");
}
else {
    Console.log("x is not greater than 1");
}
