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 (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>≤</source>).

Boolean function

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

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>></source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source>

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