Re: Is there any efficient easy way to compare two lists with the same length with Mathematica?

Over time more and more things like this have been extended to work
automatically on lists. But so far, as you discovered, not GreaterEqual
(nor Greater, etc.). Here's one way without explicitly using Table:
a = RandomInteger[{0, 20}, 5];
b = RandomInteger[{0, 20}, 5];
And @@ MapThread[Greater, {a, b}]
The key there is MapThread, which does what you (and I) would evidently
like Mathematica to do automatically -- in effect, to make GreaterEqual
have Listable as an Attribute.
