breeds = 7;

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