Given two variables n1 and n2, and assuming both variables have a numeric value, there are two ways to check whether one is greater than, or equal, to the other:

    // Old way; literally, "n1 not strictly less than n2"
    n1 '< n2
    // New way
    n1 >= n2

For readability reasons, the second form is preferred. Similarly, you will want to use <= instead of '> to test whether a number is less than, or equal, to another.
