Name: LT

Section: Arithmetic Operators

Synopsis:

<lt ARG1 ARG2 &rest more-args>

Description:

Returns "true" if the numeric value of ARG1 is less than the numeric value of ARG2 (which is less than MORE-ARGS. Just as with the arithmetic functions (Arithmetic Operators), ARG1 and ARG2 may be the names of variables containing numeric values, and not just the values themselves. In that case, lt performs an implicit call to <get-var-once ...> in order to get the value to operate on.

Examples:

<lt 3 4>            ==> true
<lt 4 3>            ==> 
<set-var x=3.4 y=3.5>
<lt x y>            ==> true
<lt y x>            ==> 
<lt x <get-var-once y>>  ==> true
<lt 4 5 6>          ==> true
