Example

The following examples show true and false results:

animals = "cats";
breeds = 7;

trace ("persons" gt "people");                    // output: 1(true)
trace ("cats" gt "cattle");                        // output: 0(false)
trace (animals gt "cats");                        // output: 0(false)
trace (animals gt "Cats");                        // output: 1(true)
trace (breeds gt "5");                            // output: 1(true)
trace (breeds gt 7);                            // output: 0(false)
