No, it doesn't work that way.

The proper syntax is:

if(%x > %y)

What you're looking for. They're called END codes. Undocumented operators that exist in no computer language but are built into the core of all CPUs. There are two of them. "Greater than AND less than" and "greater than OR less than", and they are used thus:

if (a <&> b) implodeUniverse()
and
