Try it yourself:
| @1 |
2 < 3
|
|
| @2 |
5 < 2*2
|
|
| @3 |
a = 3.3
|
|
| @4 |
b = 6-2.8
|
|
| @5 |
(a < b)
|
|
| @6 |
5 cm < 2 inch

smaller() returns true when its first value is strictly less than the second. It supports thresholds, range checks, and validation rules.
smaller(5, 5) is false; use smallerEq() for an inclusive boundary. Combine comparisons with and() for an interval and larger() for the opposite test.
Decimal results near a boundary can be affected by precision. Use abs() and a tolerance rather than comparing rounded display values.
Start with one of the editable examples above, then replace its arguments with your own values. Keeping the function on a separate calculator line makes the input and result easy to compare. For a longer workflow, assign the result to a variable or reference that line in the next expression.
Check the shown signature before adding optional arguments, and use the related-function links to compare operations with similar purposes.
