Description

Used to determine whether one alphabetic or quantitative expression is Greater than or equal to another. String comparisons are case-insensitive.

Usage

result = expression1 >= expression2

Part

Type

Description

result

Boolean

Returns True if expression1 is larger than or equal to expression2.

expression1

String, Number or DateTime

Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.

expression2

String, Number or DateTime

Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.

Notes

The data types of expression1 and expression2 must match.

A string is "greater than" another string if it is first when the two strings are sorted alphabetically. Use String.Compare to do a case-sensitive string comparison.

You can use Operator Compare to define comparisons for classes.

Sample code

The following example tests whether one number is Greater than or equal to another.

Var a, b As Integer
If TextField1.Text <> "" And TextField2.Text <> "" Then
  a = TextField1.Text.Val
  b = TextField2.Text.Val
  If a >= b Then
    MessageBox("A is greater than or equal to B!")
  Else
    System.Beep
  End If
Else
  MessageBox("Please enter values into both boxes!")
End If
