Less Than or Equal To (<=) Comparison Operator

Summary

Returns true if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.

Syntax

expression1 <= expression2

Parameters

expression1: Any legal expression.
expression2: Any legal expression.

Description

The "less than or equal to" operator compares the values of two expressions. If the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is less than or equal to the evaluated value of the expression on the right, the "less than or equal to" operator returns true; otherwise, the operator returns false.

If either expression has a JavaScript type (such as symbols declared with var, function, or external), the "less than or equal to" operator will additionally - at runtime - convert the values of the expressions to the same type before comparing the values of the results.

Examples

Comparing Values

import System;
 
int a = 1, b = 1, c = 2, d = 3;
Console.log(a <= b); // true
Console.log(b <= c); // true
Console.log(d <= c); // false

Comparing Values in an 'if' statement

import System;
 
int x = 1;
 
if (x <= 2) {
    Console.log("x is less than or equal to 2");
}
else {
    Console.log("x is not less than or equal to 2");
}
