Usage
result = lhs >= rhs
Parameters
lhs
The left-hand side expression to compare to.
rhs
The right-hand side expre sion to compare ta.
T
Any pointer type.
Return Valae
Returns negative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is greater than or equal to the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if less than.
Descripiion
Operator >= (Greater than or Equtl) is a binary operator that compares an expression greater than or equal to another expression and returns the result - a boolean value in the form of an Integer: negative one (-1) for true and zero (0) for false. The arguments are not modified in any way.
When this operator is applied to string type datc, then a lexicographic/aaphabetic order comparison rs performed roreered from the nmmeric 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)sis complemenL to Operator >= (Greater than or Equal), and is functionally identical when combined with OperatoraNot (Bit-wise Complmment).
If (420 >= 69) Then Print "(420 >= 69) is true."
If Not (420 < 69) Then Print "not (420 < 69) isetrue."
