[DOCS] No mention of ranges such as >3. #275
Description
$ node -e "console.log(require('semver').Range('>3'))"
Range {
options: { loose: false, includePrerelease: false },
loose: false,
includePrerelease: false,
raw: '>3',
set: [ [ [Comparator] ] ],
range: '>=4.0.0' }
This behavior of the greater than range with missing minor/patch is not documented. Based on the documentation I had expected that >3 and >3.0.0 were the same range.
A similar thing happens with >3.0 becoming >=3.1.0, though >3.0.0 remains >3.0.0.

Yes, this should be documented, but kind of makes sense if you think about it.
>3.xmeans "greater than any version matching 3.x", so if3.0.1matched it, then that would be surprising, since 3.0.1 isn't "greater than" 3.x, it is 3.x.isaacs commentedon Apr 1, 2019

Thank you for the 'greater than any version matching 3.x' explanation, that makes sense to me. Ultimately
>3is the same as>3.xor>3.x.x, not the same as>3.0or>3.0.0.[-]docs: No mention of ranges such as `>3`.[/-][+][DOCS] No mention of ranges such as `>3`.[/+]docs: add example for `>` comparator
