The open end always points to the larger value.
I hope this helps you to remember it better.
The symbols ">" and "<" are used in mathematics to indicate comparison between two numbers or values. The ">" symbol represents "greater than," while the "<" symbol represents "less than."
To understand which symbol to use in a given context, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the numbers or values you want to compare. Let's say we have two numbers, A and B.
2. If you want to compare whether A is greater than B, you would use the ">" symbol. For example, if A = 5 and B = 3, you would write it as A > B, meaning that 5 is greater than 3.
3. Conversely, if you want to compare whether A is less than B, you would use the "<" symbol. Using the same numbers as before, you would write it as A < B, meaning that 5 is less than 3.
In summary, ">" means "greater than" and "<" means "less than." It's important to pay attention to the direction of the symbol to correctly understand and represent the comparison being made.
