# gt {#gt}

**Parent topic:**[Functions](../../Functions/category.md)

## Syntax {#syntax}

`gt(X, Y)`

or

`X>Y`

## Arguments {#arguments}

**X** and **Y** is a scalar/pair/vector/matrix/set. If *X* or *Y* is a pair/vector/matrix, the other is a scalar or a pair/vector/matrix of the same size.

## Details {#details}

If neither *X* nor *Y* is a set, return the element-by-element comparison of *X*&gt;*Y*.

If both *X* and *Y* are sets, check if *Y* is a proper subset of *X*.

## Examples {#examples}

```
1 2 3 > 2;
// output: [false,false,true]

1 2 3>0 2 4;
// output: [true,false,false]

2:3>1:6;
// output: true : false

m1=1..6$2:3;
m1;
```

|\#0|\#1|\#2|
|---|---|---|
|1|3|5|
|2|4|6|

```
m1 gt 4;
```

|\#0|\#1|\#2|
|---|---|---|
|false|false|true|
|false|false|true|

```
m2=6..1$2:3;
m2;
```

|\#0|\#1|\#2|
|---|---|---|
|6|4|2|
|5|3|1|

```
m1>m2;
```

|\#0|\#1|\#2|
|---|---|---|
|false|false|true|
|false|true|true|

Set operation: If *X*&gt;*Y* then *Y* is a proper subset of *X*.

```
x=set(4 6);
x;

set(6,4)

y=set(8 9 4 6);
y;

set(6,4,9,8)
y>x;
// output: true

x>y;
// output: false

x>x;
// output: false  
// x is not a proper subset of x
```
