Conditional Operation on two int values stored as strings : <p>How can I implement a logic similar to the below mentioned code base ? </p>

<pre><code>string a = "1";
            string b = "2";

            if (a&gt;=b)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Greatest is" + a);
            }
</code></pre>

<p>This is a simple dummy that I created to achieve my required implementation but I am stuck without a way to compare these two integer values which are stored as a string . As shown I have two strings which has two int values stored
I simply want to be able to check which one of the two strings is greater than the other</p>
