## ‰ Greater than or equal

Compares each element in the left-hand argument with the corresponding element in the right-hand argument. If an element in the left-hand argument is greater than, or equal to, the corresponding right-hand element, the result of that comparison is 1. Otherwise it is 0. (This operation is affected by ŒCT, the comparison tolerance)
