Which is the best way for comparing dates?

Rails

Is it correct to do this?
if @date_a > @date_b
puts ‘hi’
end

assuming those are both instances of Date, (or Time etc.) then yes.
Ruby won’t let you compare an instance of Date with a Time instance,
and equally funny things will happen if either (or both) of those are
string representations of the dates.

Thanks Fred. Those ones are the updated_at rows of two different tables.

I think you’ll be good to go with that one.
