# >= and <=

This block is part of the [`condition`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/condition) group and was last modified in core [`v10.6.2`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100602).

- compare required `date`

- >= required `date`

- <= required `date`

- condition `condition` The condition that says whether the date is between the 2 dates or not.

True when date_compare falls in the inclusive range [date_0, date_1], compared as unix-second timestamps. Each pin accepts a unix timestamp (number or numeric string) or a date string parsed as UTC. False when any of the three dates is missing or unparseable.

A typical wiring for [>= AND <=](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/condition/condition_date_between): the `condition` out pin feeds [branch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/branch).
