operator < method

bool operator <(
  1. LocalDate other
)

Compares two dates to see if the left one is strictly earlier than the right one.

Only dates with the same calendar system can be compared. See the top-level type documentation for more information about comparisons.

  • this: First operand of the comparison
  • other: Second operand of the comparison

Returns: true if the this is strictly earlier than other, false otherwise.

  • ArgumentException: The calendar system of other is not the same as the calendar of this.

Implementation

bool operator <(LocalDate other) {
  Preconditions.checkArgument(calendar == other.calendar, 'rhs',
      "Only values in the same calendar can be compared");
  return compareTo(other) < 0;
}
