Less than the possible of use:

a = 5 < 10;       // a = true 
b = 8 < x; 
if (y < 100)  
  x++;

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

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

Other pieces of example codes:

while (i<20)
{
 i= i+2;
 if (i==16)
 {
    continue;
 }
 x++; 
}

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

if ( y < 100 )  
   x++;

a>1 || a<100

ret = j<i

5 < 3
