JavaScript Less-than (<)
JavaScript Less-than (<) Comparison Operator is used to check if the first operand is less than the second operand. Less-than operator returns a boolean value. The return value is true if the first value is less than the second, else, the return vale is false.
Less-than Operator Symbol
The symbol used for Less-than Operator is <.
Syntax
The syntax to use Less-than Operator with operands is
operand1 < operand2
Each operand can be a value or a variable.
Since Less-than operator returns a boolean value, the above expression can be used as a condition in If-statement.
if (operand1 < operand2) {
//code
} Examples
In the following example, we take two values in variables: x and y; and check if the value in x is less than that of in y using Less-than Operator.
