less-than#
Purpose#
Tests if all elements of the left operand are less than the right operand.
Format#
y = a < b
Parameters#
- param a:
Left operand.
- type a:
matrix, vector, or scalar
- param b:
Right operand.
- type b:
matrix, vector, or scalar
Returns#
- return y:
1 if all elements of a < corresponding elements of b, 0 otherwise.
- rtype y:
scalar
Examples#
a = { 1, 2, 3 };
b = { 4, 5, 6 };
y = a < b;
y = 1.0000000
a = { 1, 5, 3 };
b = { 4, 5, 6 };
y = a < b;
y = 0.0000000
Scalar Comparison#
x = 3;
if x < 5;
print "x is less than 5";
endif;
x is less than 5
Remarks#
Returns 1 only if ALL element comparisons are true.
For element-by-element comparison, use
.<.
