> Operator

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

Notes


Syntax

result=expression1 > expression2

Part

Type

Description

result

Boolean

Returns True if expression1 is larger than expression2.

expression1

String, Number, or Date

Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.

expression2

String, Number, or Date

Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.



The data types of expression1 and expression2 must match.

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

You can use Operator_Compare to define comparisons for classes.


Example

The following example tests whether one number is larger than another.

Dim a,b as Integer
If Editfield1.text <> "" and EditField2.text <> "" then
a= Val(Editfield1.text)
b= Val(EditField2.text)
If a>b then
MsgBox "A is Greater than B!"
else
Beep
end if
else
MsgBox "Please enter values into both boxes!"
end if
