Less Than Operator (TdTimestamp)

Compares two TdTimestamps to determine whether the operand is less than the operand.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Operator <( _
   ByVal left As TdTimestamp, _
   ByVal right As TdTimestamp _
) As Boolean

'Usage

public bool operator <( 
   TdTimestamp left,
   TdTimestamp right
)

public:
bool operator <( 
   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.

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.

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 "<" operator returns false.
