Function larger #

Test whether value x is larger than y.

The function returns true when x is larger than y and the relative difference between x and y is larger than the configured epsilon. The function cannot be used to compare values smaller than approximately 2.22e-16.

For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise. Strings are compared by their numerical value.
