IsStrictlyLess()

FIXED 2026-07-25: the canonical method was spelled IsStriclyLess (missing a "t") while all SIX of its alternative forms below called the correct IsStrictlyLess -- so every one of them raised R14. Canonical name corrected; the misspelling is kept as an alias.

also written: IsStriclyLess · IsStrictlyLessThan · IsStrictlySmallerThqn · IsStrictlyLessOrEqualTo · IsStrictlyEqualOrLessThan · IsStrictlySmallerOrEqualTo · IsStrictlyEqualOrSmallerThan

# ...and answers correctly the other way
? oN.IsStrictlyLess(2)
# all six of its alternative forms work
? oN.IsStrictlyLessThan(9)
# ...including this one
? oN.IsStrictlySmallerOrEqualTo(9)
# ...and this one
? oN.IsStrictlyEqualOrLessThan(9)
# ...and the deliberately misspelled one
? oN.IsStrictlySmallerThqn(9)
# the historical misspelling still works, so old callers are safe

The extensions of this method

Each extension, and whether it exists for this method; an extension that exists combines with the others (FindSTCS).

Extension
Exists
What it adds · The names
Q
no
does what the method does, then returns the object, so the call can be chained
QQ
no
chains on the next, more specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QQQ
no
chains on the most specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QRT
no
returns the result as an object of the requested type
CS
no
takes a case-sensitivity flag
ST
no
takes the position to start from (StartingAt)
IB
no
takes bounds that are included (IncludingBounds)
XT
no
the extended form: more parameters than the base method
XTT
no
yet another extension: a further extended form, after XT
Z
no
includes the position in what it returns
ZZ
no
returns positions as sections, [start, end]
W
no
selects by a condition
WF
no
selects by a condition, with the expressive keywords (@NextItem, @PreviousItem...)
D
no
takes a direction, forward or backward (Directional)
F
no
takes a function (the condition or the update is given as a function); the forms document also uses F for the future form, which defers the action
Many
no
works on a collection of items instead of one (the plural form)
Except
no
takes exceptions, what to leave out (the exceptional form)
U
no
returns the result without duplication

Every example is a test file of the library, run inside the library for this page; only those whose output kept every promise their file wrote are shown.
