This may be a really dumb question but why does a > b equal false?
Why is "a" less than "b"? Is it because "a" is 1, "b" is 2, "c" is 3 and so on?

2The "<" can be used to mean "comes before", as in *a* comes before *b* in the alphabet. You need to be careful though, as uppercase letters come before lowercase letters in ASCII, so "Z" < "a". – Andrew Morton Aug 31 '17 at 21:17

2@AndrewMorton It's not ASCII, it's Unicode. – rmaddy Aug 31 '17 at 21:22
