The greater than (>) operator returns true if the left operand is greater than the right operand, and false otherwise.
console.log(5 > 3);
// Expected output: true
console.log(3 > 3);
// Expected output: false
// Compare bigint to number
console.log(3n > 5);
// Expected output: false
console.log("ab" > "aa");
// Expected output: true
The operands are compared using the same algorithm as the Less than operator, except the two operands are swapped. x > y is generally equivalent to y < x, except that x > y coerces x to a primitive before y, while y < x coerces y to a primitive before x. Because coercion may have side effects, the order of the operands may matter.
"a" > "b"; // false
"a" > "a"; // false
"a" > "3"; // true
"5" > 3; // true
"3" > 3; // false
"3" > 5; // false
"hello" > 5; // false
5 > "hello"; // false
"5" > 3n; // true
"3" > 5n; // false
5 > 3; // true
3 > 3; // false
3 > 5; // false
5n > 3; // true
3 > 5n; // false
true > false; // true
false > true; // false
true > 0; // true
