Homonym: > (Symbol)
The symbol ">" is known as the greater-than sign in mathematics and programming. It is used to compare two values, indicating that the value on the left is larger than the value on the right. For example, in the expression 5 > 3, it shows that 5 is greater than 3.
In programming languages like Python and Java, the greater-than sign is often used in conditional statements to control the flow of a program. It helps determine whether certain actions should be taken based on the comparison of numerical values or variables.
