[bainbrig]

What happened?

My question read...

Does [insert the v on its side with the point to the left]300 mean greater than 300, or less than 300.

Try again (does the symbol mean 'return' in AB-speak)?

[Mamyalynne]

When used on AB some of those signs delete what comes after - I don't know the technology behind it.

[bainbrig]

So my one means less than 300, yes?

[spathiphyllum]

LIKE THIS?

[spathiphyllum]

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes it means less than.

I think they're used in html commands, mamya - maybe like AB's italics system they lay waste to all around if misused.

[Mamyalynne]

Seems so jno.

Shift key comma < ???

[gingejbee]

"Spath. Are you sure you don't drink? "

Yep especially not at 2 o clock on a monday.

[fiction-factory]

n˂40 means n is less than 40
y≤400 means y is less than or equal to 400

The confusion can come when an inequality is written as
30˂n˂50 which means n is more than 30 but less than 50
