public:
static bool operator <(System::Decimal d1, System::Decimal d2);
public:
static bool operator <(System::Decimal d1, System::Decimal d2) = System::Numerics::IComparisonOperators<System::Decimal, System::Decimal, bool>::op_LessThan;
public static bool operator < (decimal d1, decimal d2);
static member ( < ) : decimal * decimal -> bool
Public Shared Operator < (d1 As Decimal, d2 As Decimal) As Boolean
Parameters
- d1
- Decimal
The first value to compare.
- d2
- Decimal
The second value to compare.
Returns
true
if d1
is less than d2
; otherwise, false
.

Remarks
The LessThan method defines the operation of the less than operator for Decimal values. It enables code such as the following:
using System;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
Decimal number1 = 16354.0699m;
Decimal number2 = 16354.0695m;
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1,
number2, number1 < number2);
number1 = Decimal.Round(number1, 2);
number2 = Decimal.Round(number2, 2);
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1,
number2, number1 < number2);
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// 16354.0699 < 16354.0695: False
// 16354.07 < 16354.07: False
open System
let number1 = 16354.0699m
let number2 = 16354.0695m
printfn $"{number1} < {number2}: {number1 < number2}"
let rounded1 = Decimal.Round(number1, 2)
let rounded2 = Decimal.Round(number2, 2)
printfn $"{rounded1} < {rounded2}: {rounded1 < rounded2}"
// The example displays the following output:
// 16354.0699 < 16354.0695: False
// 16354.07 < 16354.07: False
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim number1 As Decimal = 16354.0699d
Dim number2 As Decimal = 16354.0695d
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1,
number2, number1 < number2)
number1 = Decimal.Round(number1, 2)
number2 = Decimal.Round(number2, 2)
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1,
number2, number1 < number2)
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' 16354.0699 < 16354.0695: False
' 16354.07 < 16354.07: False
Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Compare method instead. They may also be able to call the LessThan method directly, as the following example shows.
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim number1 As Decimal = 16354.0699d
Dim number2 As Decimal = 16354.0695d
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1, number2,
Decimal.op_LessThan(number1, number2))
number1 = Decimal.Round(number1, 2)
number2 = Decimal.Round(number2, 2)
Console.WriteLine("{0} < {1}: {2}", number1, number2,
Decimal.op_LessThan(number1, number2))
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' 16354.0699 < 16354.0695: False
' 16354.07 < 16354.07: False
The equivalent method for this operator is Decimal.Compare(Decimal, Decimal)
