Which operator means greater than or equal to?

• A. Less than or equal to
• B. Greater than
• C. Equal to
• D. Greater than or equal to

Answer: (D)

Relational operators are used to compare two values. The greater than or equal to operator means the left value is either larger than the right value or exactly the same. For example, 7 is greater than or equal to 5, and 7 is greater than or equal to 7, both true. But 5 is greater than or equal to 7 is false. This shows why this operator is the one that expresses “greater than or equal to”—it covers both the strictly greater case and the equality case. The other operators express only one relation: strictly greater than, strictly less than, or purely equal, so they don’t capture the full idea of being greater than or equal to.
