The block checks if the first value is less than the second value. If it is less, the block returns true; if not, it returns false. This block works with letters too, as well as numbers. In Scratch, letters at the top of the alphabet (e.g. a, b, c) are worth less than letters at the end (e.g. x, y, z).
Operators

Introduction
Operators is one of the ten categories of default Scratch blocks. They are color-coded light-green and are used to script math equations and string handling.

The block divides the second value from the first and returns the result. If the first value is not evenly divisible by the second, the reported value will have decimals. To find the remainder instead, use the () Mod () block. Note, dividing by 0 in the online editor will return infinity, 0, or negative infinity. It depends on if the numerator is positive, 0, or negative; respectively.
The block picks a pseudorandom number ranging from the first given number to the second, including both endpoints. If both numbers have no decimals, it will report a whole number. For example, if a 1 and a 3 were inputted, the block could return a 1, 2 or 3. If one of the numbers has a decimal point, even .0, it reports a number with a decimal. For example, if 0.1 and 0.14 were given, the output will be 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, or 0.14.
