{{Built-in|Less than|<nowiki><</nowiki>}} is a [[comparison function]] which tests whether the left [[argument]] is [[Tolerant comparison|tolerantly]] less than and not equal to the right argument, returning 1 if this is the case and 0 otherwise. It is the [[Not|negation]] of [[Greater than or Equal to]] (<source lang=apl inline>≥</source>). Less-than [[Scan]], which leaves only the first 1 in a [[Boolean]] [[vector]] set<ref>[[Phil Last|Last, Phil]]. [http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10501140 "Boolean Reductions"]. [[Vector Journal]] volume 26, number 1. 2013-09.</ref>, is a notable pattern.
