[the] increasing of factor

increasing ( expression )

Factor and expression yield any kind of list.

Description

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

Note

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

Compatibility

In OpenXION 1.3 and earlier, this was a synonym of ascending.
