Operator Reference
tuple_greater_equal (Operator)
tuple_greater_equal
— Test whether a tuple is greater or equal to another tuple.
Signature
Description
tuple_greater_equal
tests whether the input tuple
T1
is greater or equal to T2
. A tuple T1
is said to be greater or equal to a tuple T2
, if
T1
is not less than T2
. A tuple T1
is
said to be less than a tuple T2
, if T1
has been
found to be less when comparing it elementwise to T2
or if
the first min(|T1|,|T2|) elements are equal and T1
has
got less elements than T2
.
With the elementwise comparison, the elements of T1
and
T2
are compared one by one. If the two elements are equal,
the next pair of elements will be examined. If the element of
T1
is greater than that from T2
, the result is 1 and
the comparison will be aborted. If the element of T1
is less
than that from T2
, the result is 0 and the comparison will be
aborted. If all elements have been tested and if all were equal, the
result is 1.
As a precondition for comparing the tuples elementwise two
corresponding elements must either both be (integer or floating point)
numbers or both be strings. Otherwise tuple_greater_equal
returns an error.
Exception: Empty input tuples
If one input tuple is empty and the other is not, the tuple that is not empty is considered greater than the empty one.
HDevelop In-line Operation
