Return `true` if the specified `lhs` has a greater value than the specified `rhs` and `false` otherwise. The value of a `Decimal64` object `lhs` is greater than that of an object `rhs` if the `compareQuietGreater` operation (IEEE‐754 defined, non‐total ordering comparison) considers the underlying IEEE representation of `lhs` to be greater than of that of `rhs`. In other words, `lhs` is greater than `rhs` if:

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdldfp_decimalimputil.h>`

greater(
    xref:BloombergLP/bdldfp/DecimalImpUtil/ValueType32.adoc[ValueType32] lhs,
    xref:BloombergLP/bdldfp/DecimalImpUtil/ValueType32.adoc[ValueType32] rhs);
----

== Description

* neither `lhs` nor `rhs` are NaN, or * `rhs` is zero (positive or negative) and `lhs` positive, or * `lhs` is zero (positive or negative) and `rhs` negative, or * `lhs` is not negative infinity, or * `lhs` is positive infinity and `rhs` is not, or * `lhs` and `rhs` both represent a real number and the real number of `lhs` is greater than that of `rhs`

If either or both operands are signaling NaN, store the value of the macro `EDOM` into `errno` and return `false`.
