gt
Represents the greater-than relationship between mathematical values or expressions.
Overview
Serves as a fundamental mathematical comparison operator, particularly useful in expressing inequalities and logical conditions.
- Common in mathematical proofs and formal logic statements
- Used in set theory and number theory for comparing values
- Appears frequently in computer science and programming contexts
- Often combined with other operators to form compound relationships like 'greater than or equal to'
- Essential for expressing constraints and bounds in mathematical expressions
Examples
Basic inequality showing one number is greater than another.
x \gt 5Compound inequality showing a value greater than a lower bound.
f(x) \gt 0 \implies x \gt 2Mathematical statement comparing function values.
\sin(x) \gt -1
