3 < 2 < 1 # [1] TRUE ???
this is evaluated from left to right: (3<2)<1 3<2 = FALSE FALSE<1 = TRUE what's surprising is the following:
FALSE<1
[1] TRUE
FALSE>1
[1] FALSE
TRUE<1
[1] FALSE
TRUE>1
[1] FALSE because of symmetry i'd expect TRUE>1 to be TRUE.
Not surprising at all; the symmetric case is
T>0
[1] TRUE
T<0
[1] FALSE TRUE is neither greater nor less than 1; it's exactly 1. And also note that not(<) is >=, and not >. -d
