//greater than operator

//returns true if left side is greater than the right

//returns false here

Have you tried using IF statements?

Example of using if statement:

 

if($mean > $medium){
echo "mean is greater than medium";
}else{
echo "mean is not greater than medium";
}

$result = ($mean > $medium);
echo 'Result is '.(($result) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br />';

[KevinM1]

$result = ($mean > $medium);
echo 'Result is '.(($result) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br />';

 

The ternary operator may not be the best thing to show a beginner who doesn't know about conditional statements....

Perhaps

 

but he understands enough to know that

$result = ($mean > $medium);

will give him a boolean value in $result.... a lot of beginners wouldn't appreciate that.
