"integer" "less-than" Operation

This section describes 'integer' 'less-than' operation

The "integer" "less-than" operation is provided through the integer.lessThan() function, which has the following syntax:

integer.lessThan(a, b)

Parameters:
   a - The first "integer" data object
   b - The second "integer" data object
   
Return: 
   Returns a new "boolean" data object representing 
   $true, if "a" is less than "b".

The "integer" "less-than" operation can be expressed in the "<" operator format:

a < b; # alias of the following function call
integer.lessThan(a, b); 

Design options:

1. Use "<" as the "less-than" operator.

2. Use "lt" as the "less-than" operator.
