ReQL command: <, lt

Command syntax

value.lt(value[, value, ...]) → bool

value < value → bool

Description

Compare values, testing if the left-hand value is less than the right-hand.

Example: Test if a player has scored less than 10 points.

r.table('players').get(1)['score'].lt(10).run(conn)
# alternative syntax
(r.table('players').get(1)['score'] < 10).run(conn)

Example: Test if variables are ordered from highest to lowest, with no values being equal to one another.

a = 20
b = 10
c = 15
r.lt(a, b, c).run(conn)

This is the equivalent of the following:

r.lt(a, b).and(r.lt(b, c)).run(conn)
