If you read it aloud it doesn’t sound right, but from a mathematical perspective it’s saying the number of steps per day should be less than 500, which I think is the intention of the writer, no?

Yes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as number of steps < 500

  It’s so wrong it underflowed into somehow being right again.
  
  Unusual? Sure. Mathematically? Right.

People don't know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols

500 greater then steps per day

  500 > steps_per_day
  
  Unfortunately I don’t think we have enough information to solve for steps_per_day

That’s if you interpret the string as being part of the equation
