How do you check if an NSInteger is greater than another NSinteger?

Question

I'm trying to write code that detects if an integer is greater than another integer. Is this possible?

Here is what i've done so far.

if (NumCorrect >> NumWrong) {
    btnCool.title = @"Awww";
}

else {
    btnCool.title = @"Cool!";
}

All its doing is going to the else

EDIT:

NSString *numCorrect = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",NumCorrect];
NSString *numWrong = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", NumWrong];
lblWrong.text = numWrong;
lblCorrect.text = numCorrect;
if (NumCorrect > NumWrong) { 
    btnCool.title = @"Awww"; 
} else { 
    btnCool.title = @"Cool!"; 
}

Answer 1

Use single >

if (NumCorrect > NumWrong) {
    btnCool.title = @"Awww";
} else {
    btnCool.title = @"Cool!";
}

Double >> is a bit shift operation. You shift every bit in the binary representation of your variable NumCorrect NumWrong amount of bytes to the right. In almost all cases this will return in a number other then 0, which will then treated as a false value and thus the else block is executed.

Almost perfect - just take off one of those >'s. >> and << are for "bit-shifting", a weird hold-over from the earliest days of programming. You're not gonna use them much. What you really want is > and <, which is for testing if numbers are greater than each other or less than each other.

In addition, you may remember from math class that ≥ and ≤ (greater-than-or-equal-to and less-than-or-equal-to) are useful operations as well. Because there's no symbols for those on most keyboards, however, C and Xcode use >= and <= instead.

Finally, you may already know this, but to check if two numbers are exactly equal to each other you can use == (because = is used for setting the contents of variables).

Hope that's helpful!
