{{Built-in|Greater than|<nowiki><</nowiki>}} is a [[comparison function]] which tests whether the left [[argument]] is [[Tolerant comparison|tolerantly]] greater than and not equal to the right argument, returning 1 if this is the case and 0 otherwise. It is the [[Not|negation]] of [[Less than or Equal to]] (<source lang=apl inline>≤</source>).

Main article: Comparison function

Greater than (>) is a comparison function which tests whether the left argument is tolerantly greater than and not equal to the right argument, returning 1 if this is the case and 0 otherwise. It is the negation of Less than or Equal to (≤).

Boolean function

When the arguments to Greater than are Boolean, it is the material nonimplication Boolean function, also known as the NIMPLY gate:

> 0 1
0 0 0
1 1 0

In the context of logic, it can be read as but not.
