ee.Number.gt

  • The gt function compares two numbers and returns 1 if the first number (left) is greater than the second number (right), otherwise it returns 0.

  • This function can be used with both server-side objects (like ee.Number) and client-side objects (like regular JavaScript numbers) in Earth Engine Code Editor.

  • To retrieve the result in the Python API, use the .getInfo() method after calling gt.

 Returns 1 if and only if the first value is greater than the second.

UsageReturns
Number.gt(right)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftNumberThe left-hand value.
rightNumberThe right-hand value.

print('10 greater than 5?', ee.Number(10).gt(ee.Number(5)));  // 1
