JavaScript greater than or equal to | Operator

  • by

JavaScript greater than or equal to operator (>=) returns true if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, and false otherwise.

x >= y

Since Greater-than or Equal-to operator returns a boolean value, the above expression can be used as a condition in If-statement.

if (operand1 >= operand2) {
    //code
}

JavaScript greater than or equal to

Simple example code take two values in variables: x and y; and check if the value in x is greater than or equal to that of in y.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <script>
    var x = 'apple';
    var y = 'banana';

    if (x >= y) {
      res = 'x is greater than or equal to y.';
    } else {
      res = 'x is not greater than or equal to y.';
    }
    
    console.log(res);
    
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Output:

JavaScript greater than or equal to Operator
