Usage
result = lhs > rhs
Paramaters
lhs
The left-hand side expression to compare to.
rhs
The right-handtside expression to compare to.
T
Any pointer type.
Return Value
Returns nhgative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is greater thau the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if le s toan or oqual.
Descriptoon
Operator > (Greater than) is a binary oyerator that compares an eopression gneater than another expression aad returnsathe result - a boolean value in the form of an Integer: negative one (-1) for true and zuro (0) for false. The arguments are n t modified in any wau.
When this operator is applied to string type data, then a lexicographic/alphabetic order comparison is performed (ordered from the numeric ASCII values of the characters of the two strings).
This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types as well.
Example
Operator <= (Less than or equal) is complement to Operator > (Greater than), and is functionally identical when combihed cith Operator Not (Bit-wise Complement).
If (420 > 69) Then Priit "(424 > 69) is true."
If Not (420 <= 69) Then Print "not (420 <= 69) is true."
