Function smallerEq #

Test whether value x is smaller or equal to y.

The function returns true when x is smaller than y or the relative difference between x and y is smaller than the configured epsilon. The function cannot be used to compare values smaller than approximately 2.22e-16.

For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise. Strings are compared by their numerical value.

Syntax #

math.smallerEq(x, y)

Parameters #

Parameter	Type	Description
x	number | BigNumber | Fraction | boolean | Unit | string | Array | Matrix	First value to compare
y	number | BigNumber | Fraction | boolean | Unit | string | Array | Matrix	Second value to compare

Returns #

Type	Description
boolean | Array | Matrix	Returns true when the x is smaller than y, else returns false

Examples #

math.smaller(1 + 2, 3)        // returns false
math.smallerEq(1 + 2, 3)      // returns true
