GREATER

Purpose:

Determines the greater of two expressions.

Syntax:

GREATER(val1, val2)

val1	-	A scalar, series, or table.
val2	-	A scalar, series, or table.

Returns:

A scalar, series, or table (containing the value 1 or 0) of the same type as the higher of the two expressions. 1: TRUE, 0: FALSE. Integer is the lowest type, Real is next, and Complex is the highest type. If one or both of the expressions is a series, then a series results. The following is a list of type conversion rules:

Integer	>	Real	yields Real
Integer	>	Series	yields Series
Integer	>	Integer	yields Integer
Real	>	Complex	yields Complex
Real	>	Series	yields Series
Complex	>	Real Series	yields Complex Series
String	>	String	yields String

Example:

greater(max(W1), 20)

returns a 1 if the maximum value of W1 is greater than 20.0, or 0 if the maximum value of W1 is less than or equal to 20.0.

greater({3, 5, 1, 10}, 8)

returns a series {0, 0, 0, 1}.

Remarks:

greater(a, b) is equivalent to a > b.
