Greater Than or Equal

Format: x >= y

Arguments: [any] x, y Values to compare

Returns: (bool) True if x is greater than or equal to y, false otherwise

Note: When comparing text strings, the string that is last in an alphabetic sort is the greatest. Lists and matrices are compared element-by-element. The argument that contains the greater element in the location where the first difference is found is the greater argument. When making comparisons between data types, e.g., comparing a string to a number, the following hierarchy is used: null < false = zero < true = all non-zero numbers < all strings < all lists and objects < all function pointers.

Examples: 3>=3 = true

3>=2 = true

"apple">="orange" = false

true>=false = true
