Determines whether one string is lexically less than or equal to another string, where the two strings are interpreted as containing ASCII character codes. If the String A and String B are not the same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.
In general, the lexical comparison intrinsics lge
, lgt
, lle
, and llt
differ from the corresponding intrinsic operators .ge.
, .gt.
, .le.
, and .lt.
, in that the latter use the processor’s character ordering (which is not ASCII on some targets), whereas the former always use the ASCII ordering.
FORTRAN 77 and later
result = lle(string_a, string_b)
string_a
- Shall be of default character
type.string_b
- Shall be of default character
type.Returns .true.
if string_a < string_b
, and .false.
otherwise, based on the ASCII ordering.
