tuple_less_equal (Operator)
tuple_less_equal
— Test whether a tuple is less or equal to another tuple.
Signature
Description
tuple_less_equal
tests whether the input tuple T1
is less or equal to T2
. A tuple T1
is said to be
less or equal to a tuple T2
, if T1
is not greater
than T2
. A tuple T1
is said to be greater than a
tuple T2
, if T1
has been found to be greater when
comparing it elementwise to T2
or if the first
min(|T1|,|T2|) elements are equal and T1
has got more
elements than T2
.
With the elementwise comparison, the elements of T1
and
T2
are compared one by one. If the two elements are equal,
the next pair of elements will be examined. If the element of
T1
is less than that from T2
, the result is 1 and
the comparison will be aborted. If the element of T1
is
greater than that from T2
, the result is 0 and the comparison
will be aborted. If all elements have been tested and if all were
equal, the result is 1.
As a precondition for comparing the
tuples elementwise two corresponding elements must either both be
(integer or floating point) numbers or both be strings. Otherwise
tuple_less_equal
returns an error.
Exception: Empty input tuples
If one input tuple is empty and the other is not, the tuple that is empty is considered less than the one that is not empty.
HDevelop In-line Operation
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_less_equal
,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Lesseq := T1 <= T2
