The less than operator (<) compares the values of two numbers. If the number to the left is less than the number to the right, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false. Like the equality operator, less than operator converts data types while comparing.

  2 < 5  // true
'3' < 7  // true
  5 < 5  // false
  3 < 2  // false
'8' < 4  // false
