isGreaterThan(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver is greater than another given object.

Declaration

func isGreaterThan(_ object: Any?) -> Bool

Parameters

object:
The object with which to compare the receiver.

Return Value

YES if the receiver is greater than object, otherwise NO.

Discussion

During the evaluation of an NSWhoseSpecifier object that contains a test whose operator is NSGreaterThanComparison, an isGreaterThan(_:) message may be sent to each potentially specified object, if the potentially specified object does not implement a scriptingIsGreaterThan(_:) method and the object being tested against does not implement a scriptingIsLessThanOrEqual(to:) method.

The default implementation for this method provided by NSObject returns YES if a compare: message sent to the same object would return NSOrderedDescending.
