Syntax

[the] ascending of factor

ascending ( expression )

Factor and expression yield any kind of list.

Description

The ascending function returns true if and only if its arguments are in a monotonically increasing sequence. That is, every element in the list must be greater than or equal to the elements preceding it, and less than or equal to the elements following it. The elements are compared as if by the <= operator.

Note

This is the infinite-arity version of the <= operator.
