### ScopeType<sup>8+</sup>

Defines the type of values in a **Scope** object. The value type can be **ScopeComparable** or **number**.

interface ScopeComparable{
    compareTo(other: ScopeComparable): boolean;
}
type ScopeType = ScopeComparable | number;

Create a class to implement the **compareTo** method. In the subsequent sample code, **Temperature** is used as an example of the [ScopeType](#scopetype8) object.


Example
```js
class Temperature{
    constructor(value){
       // If TS is used for development, add the following code:
       // private readonly _temp: Temperature;
       this._temp = value;
    }
    compareTo(value){
       return this._temp >= value.getTemp();
    }
