Skip to main content≥ (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.
a (float, default: 0): The first number to compare.b (float, default: 0): The second number to compare.
Outputs
result (boolean): True if a is greater than or equal to b, false otherwise.
Configuration
This node has no configuration options.
Usage
- Connect the first number to compare to the
a input.
- Connect the second number to compare to the
b input.
- 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.
- Connect the user’s age (e.g., from a form input or database) to the
a input of the ≥ node.
- Connect a constant value of 18 to the
b input of the ≥ node.
- Connect the
result output of the ≥ node to a branch node.
- If
result is true, the user is 18 or older, so route them to the age-restricted content.
- 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.
