LessThan Method (TdTimestamp)



Teradata.Client.Provider Namespace > TdTimestamp Structure : LessThan Method
An instance of TdTimestamp.
An instance of TdTimestamp.
Compares two TdTimestamps to determine whether the left operand is less than the right operand.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function LessThan( _
   ByVal left As TdTimestamp, _
   ByVal right As TdTimestamp _
) As Boolean
'Usage
 
Dim left As TdTimestamp
Dim right As TdTimestamp
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = TdTimestamp.LessThan(left, right)
public static bool LessThan( 
   TdTimestamp left,
   TdTimestamp right
)
public:
static bool LessThan( 
   TdTimestamp left,
   TdTimestamp right
) 

Parameters

left
An instance of TdTimestamp.
right
An instance of TdTimestamp.

Return Value

A boolean is returned that indicates the result of the comparison.
Remarks

The value returned is true if the left is less than the right, false otherwise.

Return Value Description
true left and right are not TdTimestamp.Null and left is less than right.
false

left and / or right is Null

-or-

left is greater than or equal to right.

Comparison operators always returns false if one of the operands is Null. Therefore, you must not assume that the reverse condition is true. For example you cannot assume that the left operand is greater than or equal the right operand if the LessThan operator returns false.
