≥ (Greater Than or Equal)

The ≥ node compares two floating-point numbers and outputs a boolean value indicating whether the first input is greater than or equal to the second input.

​
Inputs

  1. a (float, default: 0): The first number to compare.
  2. b (float, default: 0): The second number to compare.

​
Outputs

  1. result (boolean): True if a is greater than or equal to b, false otherwise.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Connect the first number to compare to the a input.
  2. Connect the second number to compare to the b input.
  3. The result output will emit a boolean value indicating whether a is greater than or equal to b.

​
Example

Suppose you have a spell that needs to check if a user’s age is greater than or equal to 18 before allowing them to access certain content. You can use the ≥ node to perform this comparison.
  1. Connect the user’s age (e.g., from a form input or database) to the a input of the ≥ node.
  2. Connect a constant value of 18 to the b input of the ≥ node.
  3. Connect the result output of the ≥ node to a branch node.
  4. If result is true, the user is 18 or older, so route them to the age-restricted content.
  5. If result is false, the user is under 18, so route them to an appropriate message or alternative content.

​
Best Practices

  • Ensure that the values connected to the a and b inputs are valid floating-point numbers. If either input is not a number, the node will output false.
  • Remember that the comparison is “greater than or equal to,” so if a and b are equal, the result will be true.

​
Common Issues

  • If the result is always false even when you expect it to be true, double-check that you’ve connected the inputs in the correct order (a should be the value you expect to be greater than or equal to b).
  • Be cautious when comparing floating-point numbers for equality, as rounding errors can sometimes cause unexpected results. If you need to check for equality, consider using a small tolerance value rather than comparing directly.
