FBWiki: KeyPgOpGreaterThanOrEqual

Operator >= (Greater than or Equal)

Compares an expression greater than or equal to another expression

Syntax:declare operator >= ( byref lhs as byte, byref rhs as byte ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as ubyte, byref rhs as ubyte ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as short, byref rhs as short ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as ushort, byref rhs as ushort ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as integer, byref rhs as integer ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as uinteger, byref rhs as uinteger ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as longint, byref rhs as longint ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as ulongint, byref rhs as ulongint ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as string, byref rhs as string ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as zstring, byref rhs as zstring ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as wstring, byref rhs as wstring ) as integer declare operator >= ( byref lhs as T, byref rhs as T ) as integer
Usage:result = lhs >= rhs
Parameters:

lhs

The left-hand side expression to compare to.

rhs

The right-hand side expression to compare to.

T

Any pointer type.

Return Value:

Returns negative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is greater than or equal to the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if less than.

Description:

Operator >= (Greater than or Equal) is a binary operator that compares an expression greater than or equal to another expression and returns the result - a boolean value in the form of an Integer: negative one (-1) for true and zero (0) for false. The arguments are not modified in any way.

This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types as well.

Examples:

Operator < (Less than) is complement to Operator >= (Greater than or Equal), and is functionally identical when combined with Operator Not (Bit-wise Complement).

If (420 >= 69) Then Print "(420 >= 69) is true."
If Not (420 < 69) Then Print "not (420 < 69) is true."

Dialect Differences:

In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB:

none
