LLT — Lexical less than#

LLT(STRING_A, STRING_B)#

Determines whether one string is lexically less than another string, where the two strings are interpreted as containing ASCII character codes. If the String A and String B are not the same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.

Parameters:

STRING_A – Shall be of default CHARACTER type.
STRING_B – Shall be of default CHARACTER type.

Returns:

Returns .TRUE. if STRING_A < STRING_B, and .FALSE. otherwise, based on the ASCII ordering.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = LLT(STRING_A, STRING_B)
