Syntax
`
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As Byte, ByRef rhs As Byte ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As UByte, ByRef rhs As UByte ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As Short, ByRef rhs As Short ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As UShort, ByRef rhs As UShort ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As Integer, ByRef rhs As Integer ) As Integer

Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As ZString, ByRef rhs As ZString ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As WString, ByRef rhs As WString ) As Integer
Declare Operator >= ( ByRef lhs As T, ByRef rhs As T ) As Integer
`
Usage
`
result = lhs >= rhs
`
Parameters
`lhs`
The left-hand side expression to compare to.
`rhs`
The right-hand side expression to compare to.
`T`
Any pointer type.
Return Value
Returns negative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is greater than or equal to the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if less than.
Description
`Operator >=` (Greater than or Equal) is a binary operator that compares an expression greater than or equal to another expression and returns the result - a boolean value in the form of an `Integer`: negative one (-1) for true and zero (0) for false. The arguments are not modified in any way.
This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types as well.
Example
`Operator <` (Less than) is complement to `Operator >=` (Greater than or Equal), and is functionally identical when combined with `Operator Not` (Bit-wise Complement).
`
If (420 >= 69) Then Print "(420 >= 69) is true."
If Not (420 < 69) Then Print "not (420 < 69) is true."
`
