Less Than(<) Comparison Operator in JavaScript

JavaScript Less Than(<) Operator is used to compare two operands and return true if the left operand has a lesser value than the right operator. The values are converted to equal primitive types before conversion If both the values are strings the comparison is done on the basis of their Unicode. Boolean values like true and false are converted to 1 and 0 respectively.

Syntax: 

a<b
