Less Than Operator (TdDate)

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

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

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

'Usage

public bool operator <( 
   TdDate left,
   TdDate right
)

public:
bool operator <( 
   TdDate left,
   TdDate right
)

Parameters

left: An instance of TdDate.
right: An instance of TdDate.

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 TdDate.Null and left is less than right.

Return Value	Description
`true`	left and right are not TdDate.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.
