Syntax

(> expr1 expr2 ...)
exprN - a numeric expression
returns -  T  if the results of comparing the expressions are all true, NIL otherwise

Description

The '>' [greater-than] function takes an arbitrary number of numeric arguments. It checks to see if all the numbers are monotonically decreasing.  T  is returned if the arguments are numerically, and monotonically decreasing, NIL is returned otherwise. For two arguments, this has the effect of testing if 'expr1' is greater than 'expr2'.

Examples

(> 1 1)             => NIL
(> 1 2)             => NIL
(> 2.0 1.99)        => T
(> 3 2 1)           => T
(> 3 2 2)           => NIL
(> "aa" "aa")       => error: bad argument type
(setq a 12 b 99.9)  => 99.9  ; set up A and B with values
(> a b)             => NIL
(> b a)             => T

See setq.
