# Function larger
|
|
|
|
Test whether value x is larger than y.
|
|
|
|
The function returns true when x is larger than y and the relative
|
|
difference between x and y is larger than the configured epsilon. The
|
|
function cannot be used to compare values smaller than approximately 2.22e-16.
|
|
|
|
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
math.larger(x, y)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
`x` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Unit | String | Array | Matrix | null | First value to compare
|
|
`y` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Unit | String | Array | Matrix | null | Second value to compare
|

|
### Returns
|

|
|
Type | Description
|
|
---- | -----------
