[the] descending of factor

descending ( expression )

Factor and expression yield any kind of list.

Description

The descending function returns true if and only if its arguments are in a monotonically decreasing sequence. That is, every element in the list must be less than or equal to the elements preceding it, and greater 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.
