What is the difference between 'greater than or equal to' (≥) and 'greater than' (>)?

Back

'Greater than or equal to' means the value can be either larger or equal, while 'greater than' means it must be strictly larger.

Front

What is the difference between 'less than or equal to' (≤) and 'less than' (<)?

Back

'Less than or equal to' means the value can be either smaller or equal, while 'less than' means it must be strictly smaller.
