bcompareLT

 

 

Overview

The bcompareLT is a fast comparison function that assume that its operands are Boolean values. The resulting value is a Boolean value of true or false. The operands are not checked and are not coerced.

Usage

Use the bcompareLT function when you wish to compare two booleans and determine if {bool1} is lesser than {bool2} and you wish the result to be expressed as a Boolean value (true or false). These functions only operate on Boolean operands. For a more general, but slower, comparison, use the compareEQ, compareNE, compareGT, compareGE, compareLT, and compareLE which performs type checking and type conversions.

 

Syntax

Expression: (bcompareLT bool1 bool2 )

Arguments Name Type Description
Argument:bool1Boolean The first Boolean to be compared
Argument:bool2Boolean The second Boolean to be compared

Returns:

Returns true if the first Boolean is lesser than the second Boolean and false if the first Boolean is greater or equal in value than the second Boolean.
