Less Than

Format: x < y

Arguments: [any] x, y Values to compare

Returns: (bool) True if x is less than y, false otherwise

Note: When comparing text strings, the string that is last in an alphabetic sort is the greatest. Lists and matrices are compared element-by-element. The argument that contains the greater element in the location where the first difference is found is the greater argument. When making comparisons between data types, e.g., comparing a string to a number, the following hierarchy is used: null < false = zero < true = all non-zero numbers < all strings < all lists and objects < all function pointers.

Examples: 3<3 = false

3<4 = true

"apple"<"orange" = true

false<true = true
