Comparison operations with SpotRate class
SpotRate objects can be compared among themselves or with numeric
variables.
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 >= e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 <= e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 < e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 > e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 == e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,SpotRate'
e1 != e2
# S4 method for class 'SpotRate,numeric'
Compare(e1, e2)
# S4 method for class 'numeric,SpotRate'
Compare(e1, e2)A boolean logical object.
The comparison with SpotRate objects only takes all fields
into account.
Comparing SpotRate against numeric values is equivalent to
coerce the SpotRate object to numeric execute the operation,
this is a syntax sugar for a shortcut that is commonly applied.
