Description
Compares the variable on the left with the value or variable on the right of the operator. Returns true when the operand on the left is greater (bigger) than the operand on the right. Please note that you may compare variables of different data types, but that could generate unpredictable results, it is therefore recommended to compare variables of the same data type including the signed/unsigned type.
Syntax
x > y; // is true if x is bigger than y and it is false if x is equal or smaller than y
Parameter Values
- x: variable. Allowed data types: int, float, double, byte, short, long.
- y: variable or constant. Allowed data types: int, float, double, byte, short, long.
Example Code
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
int x = 3;
int y = 2;
if (x > y) // tests if x is greater (bigger) than y
Serial.println("x is greater than y");
}
void loop() {
}
The result on Serial Monitor:
COM6
x is greater than y
Autoscroll
Clear output
