Why does lodash have gt, lt, gte, lte functions?

Question

Is there any interesting use for these functions that can be helpful instead of just using the comparison operators? For example, https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.10#gte

I am just wondering if there is a value in these functions that I am missing since it does not make sense (at least for me) to include them in a library.

Answer 1

Functions can be passed as arguments or chained with other functions; operators cannot.

This makes those "operator" functions composable, amenable to a more functional approach.
