a<>b   compares 'a' and 'b', returns the larger of them.

a><b   compares 'a' and 'b', returns the smaller of them.

Examples

Simple larger examples <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> x=a<>b -- faster than x=math.max(a,b) x=(x-1)<>5 -- decrement x, but don't go below 5 </source>

Simple smaller examples <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> x=a><15 -- increment x, but don't go above 15 </source>

Make sure x is within bounds example <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> x=(x<>min)><max </source>

Always return the negative of a number <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> x=-x><x -- faster than -math.abs </source>

Always return the positive of a number <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> x=-x<>x -- faster than math.abs </source>
