You'll need to use an if block or a switch block to determine what operator is being used; something like:

switch (operation)
{
    case ">":
        // do your processing for greater than
        break;
    case "<":
        // do your processing for less than
        break;
    etc...
}

Hi Shil,

According to your description, you could try overriding the operator.
