<=

Syntax expression1 <= expression2

expression1 ² expression2

Action This comparison operator yields the boolean value true if the value of expression1 is less (smaller) than or equal to the value of expression2.

Examples file.size ("myFile") <= 1000000

   » true

This expression evaluates to true if the file contains one million or fewer characters.

"abc" ² "abc"

   » true

The result is true, because the two expressions are equal.

Notes There is no difference between the two forms, <= and ².

String comparison is done according to the ASCII sequence. This yields alphabetical results. Lowercase characters sort after all uppercase characters, that is, "A" < "Z" < "a" < "z".

UserTalk employs automatic type coercion when evaluating arithmetic and comparative operations; the two expressions need not be of the same type to be compared.

The ² symbol can be entered at the keyboard with Option-<
