<B>exp1 < exp2</B>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The operator < is a relational operator. If the value of <U>exp1</U> is less
|
||
|
|
than that of <U>exp2</U>, the result of <U>exp1</U> < <U>exp2</U> is -1; otherwise the
|
||
|
|
result is 0. In IF statements, BASIC regards 0 as equivalent to FALSE
|
||
|
|
and all nonzero values as equivalent to TRUE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the operands are string expressions, BASIC compares the ASCII
|
||
|
|
values of the first character in each expression. If the first
|
||
|
|
characters have the same ASCII value, BASIC then evaluates the second
|
||
|
|
characters, and so on. If one string terminates before the other, and
|
||
|
|
the characters in each string are identical to that point, the shorter
|
||
|
|
string is considered "less" than the longer one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<B>exp1</B>,<B>exp2</B> Any numeric or string expression, but <U>exp1</U> and <U>exp2</U> must
|
||
|
|
either both be numeric or both be strings; otherwise a
|
||
|
|
Type Mismatch error occurs.
