SYNTAX

(char>= <char1> <charN> ... )
        <char1>         -       a character expression
        <charN>         -       character expression(s) to compare

DESCRIPTION

The CHAR>= (character-GREATER-THAN-OR-EQUAL) function takes one or more character arguments. It checks to see if all the character arguments are monotonically non-increasing. T is returned if the arguments are of monotonically non-increasing ASCII value. In the case of two arguments, this has the effect of testing if <char1> is greater than or equal to <char2>. This test is case sensitive - the character #\a is different (and of greater ASCII value) than #\A.

EXAMPLES

(char>= #\a #\b)                        ; returns NIL
(char>= #\b #\a)                        ; returns T
(char>= #\c #\b #\a)                    ; returns T
(char>= #\a #\a)                        ; returns T 
(char>= #\c #\a #\b)                    ; returns NIL
(char>= #\A #\a)                        ; returns NIL
(char>= #\a #\A)                        ; returns T
