$gt - Amazon DocumentDB
Example (MongoDB Shell)Code examples

$gt

The $gt aggregation operator compares two values and returns true if the first value is greater than the second, otherwise returns false.

Parameters

  • expression1: The first value to compare.

  • expression2: The second value to compare.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates using the $gt operator to identify products exceeding a price threshold.

Create sample documents

db.products.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, name: "Laptop", price: 1200 },
  { _id: 2, name: "Mouse", price: 25 },
  { _id: 3, name: "Monitor", price: 400 }
]);

Query example

db.products.aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      name: 1,
      price: 1,
      expensive: { $gt: ["$price", 100] }
    }
  }
]);

Output

[
  { _id: 1, name: 'Laptop', price: 1200, expensive: true },
  { _id: 2, name: 'Mouse', price: 25, expensive: false },
  { _id: 3, name: 'Monitor', price: 400, expensive: true }
]

        price: 1,
        expensive: { $gt: ["$price", 100] }
      }
    }
  ]).toArray();

  console.log(result);
  await client.close();
