| < | |
| Syntax | number < number < number number .LT number number |
| Explanation | The Less Than operator compares two
numbers. If the first number is less than the second
number, the output is TRUE; otherwise
it is FALSE. The < form may be used either as a prefix or as an infix operator, although it must be surrounded by parentheses if its output is used in infix mode (not simply at the command line). |
| Example | 4 < 5 Result: TRUE < 4 5 Result: TRUE .LT 5 5 Result: FALSE |
