Kotlin Greater-than

Kotlin Greater-than Operator

Kotlin Greater-than Operator returns true if left operand is greater than the right operand, or else it returns false.

Syntax

The syntax to use Greater-than operator is

value1 > value2

where

  • value1 is left operand
  • < is the symbol used for Greater-than operator
  • value2 is right operand

Return value

The above expression returns a boolean value of true if value1 is greater than value2, or false otherwise.

Examples

Check if 45 is greater than 21

In the following program, consider that we are given two values in variables: n1, and n2, say 45 and 21 respectively. We shall use Greater-than operator and check if value in n1 is greater than that of in n2.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val n1 = 45
    val n2 = 21

    if (n1 > n2) {
        println("$n1 is greater than $n2.")
    } else {
        println("$n1 is not greater than $n2.")
    }
}

Output

45 is greater than 21.

Since the value in n1 is greater than that of in n2, n1 > n2 returned true, and the if-block is run.

Check if 21 is greater than 45

In the following program, consider that we are given two values in variables: n1, and n2, say 21 and 45 respectively. We shall use Greater-than operator and check if value in n1 is greater than that of in n2.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val n1 = 21
    val n2 = 45

    if (n1 > n2) {
        println("$n1 is greater than $n2.")
    } else {
        println("$n1 is not greater than $n2.")
    }
}

Output

21 is not greater than 45.

Since the value in n1 is not greater than that of in n2, n1 > n2 returned false, and the else-block is run.
