# Greater than or equal test

Learn how to check if a value is greater than or equal to another.

This test checks whether a value is greater than or equal to another. In terms of semantics, this test is equivalent to the [greater or equal operation](/reference/cql/expressions/operations/comparison/greater-than-or-equal).

## Syntax

This test has the following syntax:

```cql
/*<value>*/ is greater than or equal to /*<reference>*/
```

To negate the test, you can write:

```cql
/*<value>*/ is not greater than or equal to /*<reference>*/
```

## Parameters

These are the supported parameters:

- `value`: `comparable`

  The value to compare with the reference value.

- `reference`: `comparable`

  The value to compare against.

## Examples

Here is a basic example of how to check whether a value is greater than or equal to another:

```cql
1 + 2 is greater than or equal to 3 // true
```
