The less-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the left, <, has been found in documents dated as far back as the 1560s. In mathematical writing, the less-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared and signifies that the first number is less than the second number. Examples of typical usage include 1⁄2 < 1 and −2 < 0. Since the development of computer programming languages, the less-than sign and the greater-than sign have been repurposed for a range of uses and operations.

- Remember that 1 can be represented by a fraction when the numerator and denominator are the same value. 2/2 is the same as 1. 9/9 is the same as 1. 52/52 is the same as one. If that is confusing, think of it as a division problem.
- Smaller than: 4 4 is less than 7 4 has fewer than 7 4 is smaller than 7 = Equal to Same as: 7 = 7: 7 is equal to 7 7 is the same as 7: Return to Top. More, Less or the Same.
- Only machine threaded fasteners (nuts, and screws/bolts that could take a nut) specify a thread count or thread pitch. US fasteners specify threads per inch (TPI), commonly called thread count, so 20 would represent 20 threads per inch.Metric fasteners instead specify a thread pitch which is the distance between the threads. Therefore, a 1.5 pitch would have 1.5 millimeters between each thread.
Compare 1/4 and 3/16. 1 / 4 is greater than 3 / 16. Steps for comparing fractions. Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators: LCM of 4 and 16 is 16; For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 4 = 16, 1 / 4 = 1 × 4 / 4 × 4 = 4 / 16; Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 16 × 1 = 16, 3 / 16 = 3 × 1 / 16 × 1.
The less-than sign, <, is an original ASCII character (hex 3C, decimal 60).
The less-than sign may be used for an approximation of the opening angle bracket, ⟨. ASCII does not have angle brackets but are standard in Unicode (U+2329〈LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET (HTML 〈)). The latter is expected in formal texts.
Programming language[edit]
In BASIC, Lisp-family languages, and C-family languages (including Java and C++), operator < means 'less than'.
In Coldfusion, operator .lt. means 'less than'.
In Fortran, operator .LT. means 'less than'; later versions allow <.
In Bourne shell, operator -lt means 'less than'.
Double less-than sign[edit]
The double less-than sign, <<, may be used for an approximation of the much-less-than sign, ≪ or of the opening guillemet, «. ASCII does not have a much-less-than sign.
In Bash, Perl, and Ruby, operator < (where 'EOF' is an arbitrary string, but commonly 'EOF' denoting 'end of file') is used to denote the beginning of a here document.
In C and C++, operator << represents a binary left shift.
In the C++ Standard Library, operator <<, when applied on an output stream, acts as insertion operator and performs an output operation on the stream.
In Ruby, operator << acts as append operator when used between an array and the value to be appended.
https://coolsfil742.weebly.com/gold-city-casino.html. In XPath the << operator returns true if the left operand precedes the right operand in document order; otherwise it returns false.[1] Windows 7 32 bit trial.
Triple less-than sign[edit]
In PHP, operator << is used to denote the beginning of a heredoc statement (where OUTPUT is an arbitrary named variable.)
In Bash, << is used as a 'here string', where word is expanded and supplied to the command on its standard input, similar to a heredoc.
Less-than sign plus equals sign[edit]
Less-than sign plus equals sign[edit]The less-than sign plus the equals sign, <=, may be used for an approximation of the less-than-or-equal-to sign, ≤. ASCII does not have a less-than-or-equal-to sign, but Unicode defines it at code point U+2264.
In BASIC, Lisp-family languages, and C-family languages (including Java and C++), operator <= means 'less than or equal to'. In Sinclair BASIC it is encoded as a single-byte code point token. Collections 4 0 1 – organize your desktop icons shortcut.
In Prolog, =< means 'less than or equal to' (as distinct from the arrow <=).
In Fortran, operator .LE. means 'less than or equal to'.
In Bourne shell and Windows PowerShell, the operator -le means 'less than or equal to'.
Less-than sign plus Hyphen-minus[edit]
Less-than sign plus Hyphen-minus[edit]In the R programming language, the less-than sign is used in conjunction with a hyphen-minus to create an arrow (<-), this can be used as the left assignment operator.
Shell scripts[edit]
Shell scripts[edit]In Bourne shell (and many other shells), less-than sign is used to redirect input from a file. Less-than plus ampersand (<&) is used to redirect from a file descriptor.
Spaceship operator[edit]
Spaceship operator[edit]Less-than sign is used in the spaceship operator.
HTML[edit]
HTML[edit]In HTML (and SGML and XML), the less-than sign is used at the beginning of tags. The less-than sign may be included with <. The less-than-or-equal-to sign, ≤, may be included with ≤.
Mathematics[edit]
Mathematics[edit]In an inequality, the less-than sign always 'points' to the smaller number. Put another way, the 'jaws' (the wider section of the symbol) always direct to the larger number.
