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

math.larger(x, y)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
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
Boolean | Array | Matrix	Returns true when the x is larger than y, else returns false

Examples

math.larger(2, 3);             // returns false
math.larger(5, 2 + 2);         // returns true

var a = math.unit('5 cm');
var b = math.unit('2 inch');
math.larger(a, b);             // returns false
