> Greater than


Compares each element in the left-hand argument with the corresponding element in the right-hand argument. If an element in the left-hand argument is greater than the corresponding right-hand element, the result of that comparison is 1. Otherwise it is 0. (This operation is affected by ⎕CT, the comparison tolerance)

       1
             2 > 12
       0
             12 > 12
       0
             11 7 2 5 > 11 3 2 6     (Compares each element in a vector with
       0 1 0 0                        the corresponding element in a vector of
                                      equal length)
             ¯3 > ¯4                 (Compares negative numbers. The number
       1                              nearer 0 is considered the greater.)
             8 > 2+2+2+2             (The right argument is evaluated
       0                              before the comparison is made)
