Comparing Mixed Expressions - Not Recommended

It is possible, but highly not recommended, to compare one numeric expression and one string expression. The expressions are compared as numeric entities:

• The numeric argument is formatted as a string using the appropriate format (as explained above, in comparing two numeric expressions), and that string is converted to a numeric value again.

• The string argument is converted to a floating point number.

• The two numbers are compared.

It is the GPP developer's responsibility to ensure that the string can be properly converted to a number. If not, results are unpredictable.
