Greater than or equal (>=)
The greater than or equal operator (>=
) returns true
if
the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, and false
otherwise.
Syntax
x >= y
Description
The operands are compared using the Abstract Relational Comparison algorithm. See the documentation for the Less than operator for a summary of this algorithm.
Examples
String to string comparison
console.log("a" >= "b"); // false
console.log("a" >= "a"); // true
console.log("a" >= "3"); // true
String to number comparison
console.log("5" >= 3); // true
console.log("3" >= 3); // true
console.log("3" >= 5); // false
console.log("hello" >= 5); // false
console.log(5 >= "hello"); // false
Number to Number comparison
console.log(5 >= 3); // true
console.log(3 >= 3); // true
console.log(3 >= 5); // false
Number to BigInt comparison
console.log(5n >= 3); // true
console.log(3 >= 3n); // true
console.log(3 >= 5n); // false
Comparing Boolean, null, undefined, NaN
console.log(true >= false); // true
console.log(true >= true); // true
console.log(false >= true); // false
console.log(true >= 0); // true
console.log(true >= 1); // true
console.log(null >= 0); // true
console.log(1 >= null); // true
console.log(undefined >= 3); // false
console.log(3 >= undefined); // false
console.log(3 >= NaN); // false
console.log(NaN >= 3); // false
