GREATERP INDEX

GREATERP _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ operator

The greaterp logical operator returns true if its first argument is strictly greater than its second argument. As an infix operator it is identical with >.

syntax:

greaterp(<expression>,<expression>) or <expression> greaterp <expression>

<expression> can be any valid REDUCE expression that evaluates to a number.

examples:



a := 20; 

  A := 20 


if greaterp(a,25) then write "big" else write "small";
			 


  small 


if a greaterp 20 then write "big" else write "small";
			 


  small 


if (a greaterp 18) then write "big" else write "small";
			 


  big

Logical operators can only be used in conditional statements such as

if...then...else or repeat... while.
