b = 8 < x; 
if (y < 100)  
  x++;

C++

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation less than:

x < y
10 < f(5)
(i & j) < 128

C++

Other pieces of example codes:

do {
  i++;
  if (i==5)
    break;
} while ( i <10);

if (y<5)
   y = y/ 3.14;    // y = 1.234

a>1 || a<100

a = 5 < 10

ret = j<i

10 >a || a<5
