instance method

BigDecimal#<=

self <= other → true or false

Returns true if self is less or equal to 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              # => true
b < 1                 # => false

Raises an exception if the comparison cannot be made.
