Lower (<)

The < operator is provided to test whether a value or expression is lower than another.

Syntax

expr < expr

Usage

Use the lower-than operator to test if a value of the left operand is lower than the value of the right operand.

This operator applies to expressions that evaluate to primitive data types such as INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE. It does not apply to the BYTE and TEXT types.

If one of the operands is NULL, the comparison expression evaluates to NULL.

Example

MAIN
  DEFINE n INT
  LET n = 45
  IF n < 100 THEN
     DISPLAY "The variable is lower than 100."
  END IF
END MAIN
