## <=

<= — Determines if one value is less than or equal to another.

## Description

Determines if one value is less than or equal to another.

## Syntax

    (a <= b ? v1 : v2)

where a, b, v1 and v2 may be expressions, but a, b not audio-rate.

## Performance

In the above conditional, a and b are first compared. If the indicated relation is true (a less than or equal to b), then the conditional expression has the value of v1; if the relation is false, the expression has the value of v2.

NB.: If v1 or v2 are expressions, these will be evaluated before the conditional is determined.

In terms of binding strength, all conditional operators (i.e. the relational operators (<, etc.), and ?, and : ) are weaker than the arithmetic and logical operators (+, -, *, /, && and ||).

These are operators not opcodes. Therefore, they can be used within orchestra statements, but do not form complete statements themselves.

## Examples

Here is an example of the <= operator. It uses the file lessequal.csd.

Example 22. Example of the <= operator.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

    random number = 0.370565, result = 1.000000
    random number = 0.655759, result = 2.000000
    random number = 0.676154, result = 2.000000
