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 same algorithm as the Less than operator, except the two operands are swapped, and equal values return true.

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
