isBeforeOrEqual

isBeforeOrEqual compares two date-times and returns true if the first parameter is equal to or earlier than the second parameter.

Syntax

isBefore(instant1, instant2)
isBefore(dateTime1, dateTime2)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
instant1	Instant	The first date-time for the comparison.
instant2	Instant	The second date-time for the comparison.
dateTime1	ZonedDateTime	The first date-time for the comparison.
dateTime2	dateTime2	The second date-time for the comparison.

Returns

Returns a boolean value:

• true if the first date-time comes before the second date-time, or if the date-times are equal.
• false otherwise.

Example

The following example shows how to use isBeforeOrEqual to compare three Instants.

d1 = parseInstant("2022-01-01T00:00:00 ET")
d2 = parseInstant("2022-01-02T00:00:00 ET")
d3 = parseInstant("2022-01-02T00:00:00 ET")

println isBeforeOrEqual(d1, d2)
println isBeforeOrEqual(d2, d1)
println isBeforeOrEqual(d3, d2)
