The symbol <=
represents a mathematical or logical comparison operator that indicates "less than or equal to." It is commonly used in programming, mathematics, and statistics to compare two values.
For example:
- In the expression
x <= 5
, it means thatx
can be either less than 5 or equal to 5. - If
x
is 3, the statement is true because 3 is less than 5. - If
x
is 5, the statement is also true because 5 is equal to 5. - If
x
is 6, the statement is false because 6 is greater than 5.
In summary, <=
checks if the value on the left side is less than or the same as the value on the right side.
