You use comparison predicates to compare the results of two expressions. You create a comparison predicate with an operator, a left expression, and a right expression. You represent the expressions using instances of the NSExpressionMBS class. When you evaluate the predicate, it returns as a BOOL value the result of invoking the operator with the results of evaluating the expressions.
Subclass of the NSPredicateMBS class.
