static VALUE
BigDecimal_lt(VALUE self, VALUE r)
{
return BigDecimalCmp(self, r, '<');
}
Returns true if self is less than other, false otherwise:
Example
b = BigDecimal('1.5') # => 0.15e1 b < 2 # => true b < 2.0 # => true b < Rational(2, 1) # => true b < 1.5 # => false
Raises an exception if the comparison cannot be made.
