Less


A quantity a is said to be less than b if a is smaller than b, written a<b. If a is less than or equal to b, the relationship is written a<=b. In the Wolfram Language, this is denoted Less[a, b], or a < b.

If a is much less than b, this is written a<<b. Statements involving greater than and less than symbols are called inequalities.
