Less than

The lt instructions, short for less than, check if a number is less than another number. If the first number is less than the second number equal 1 will be pushed on to the stack, otherwise 0 will be pushed on to the stack.

The integer types have separate less than instructions for signed (lt_s) and unsigned (lt_u) numbers.
