Used to determine whether one quantitative or alphabetic expression is smaller than another. String comparisons are case-insensitive.
Syntax
result=expression1 < expression2
Part | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
result |
Returns True if expression1 is less than expression2. |
|
expression1 |
Any alphabetic or quantitative expression. |
|
expression2 |
Any alphabetic or quantitative expression. |
Note
A string is "less than" another string if it is first when the two strings are sorted alphabetically. Use StrComp to do a case-sensitive String comparison.
You can use Operator_Compare to define comparisons for classes.
Example
This example uses the < operator to evaluate a and b.
Dim a,b as Integer
If Editfield1.text <> "" and EditField2.text <> "" then
a= Val(Editfield1.text)
b= Val(EditField2.text)
If a<b then
MsgBox "A is Less Than B!"
else
Beep
end if
else
MsgBox "Please enter values into both boxes!"
end if
If Editfield1.text <> "" and EditField2.text <> "" then
a= Val(Editfield1.text)
b= Val(EditField2.text)
If a<b then
MsgBox "A is Less Than B!"
else
Beep
end if
else
MsgBox "Please enter values into both boxes!"
end if
