Less

Usage

x < y yields True if x is determined to be less than y.
 <  <  yields True if the  form a strictly increasing sequence.


Notes

Less gives True or False when its arguments are real numbers.
Less does some simplification when its arguments are not numbers.
• For exact numeric quantities, Less internally uses numerical approximations to establish numerical ordering. This process can be affected by the setting of the global variable $MaxExtraPrecision.
• See Section 1.5.6.
• See also: LessEqual, Greater, Positive, Element.
• New in Version 1; modified in 3.
