 Assigns a value to a \latex \prm{counter} previously initialized with \cmd{newcounter}. This command is similar in concept and syntax to \cmd{setcounter} except for two major differences. 1) The second argument may be an \prm{integer expression} which will be processed with \cmd{numexpr}. The \prm{integer expression} may be any arbitrary code which is valid in this context. The value assigned to the \prm{counter} will be the result of that calculation. 2) In contrast to \cmd{setcounter}, the assignment is local by default but \cmd{defcounter} may be prefixed with \cs{global}. The functional equivalent of \cmd{setcounter} would be \cs{global}\cmd{defcounter}.

+\cmditem{ifnumcomp}{integer expression}{comparison}{integer expression}{true}{false}
+
+Compares two integer expressions according to \prm{comparison} and expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false} depending on the result. The \prm{comparison} may be |<|, |>|, or |=|. Both integer expressions will be processed with \cmd{numexpr}. An \prm{integer expression} may be any arbitrary code which is valid in this context. All arithmetic expressions may contain spaces. Here are some examples:
+
+\begin{ltxcode}
+\ifnumcomp{<<3>>}{<<>>>}{<<6>>}{true}{<<false>>}
+\ifnumcomp{<<(7 + 5) / 2>>}{<<=>>}{<<6>>}{<<true>>}{false}

+Technically, this command is a \latex wrapper for the \tex primitive \cmd{ifnum}, incorporating \cmd{numexpr}. Note that \cmd{numexpr} will round the result of all integer expressions, \ie both expressions will be processed and rounded prior to being compared. In the last line of the above examples, the result of the second expression is 2.5, which is rounded to 3, hence \cmd{ifnumcomp} will expand to \prm{true}.
