Description
**Page on which the error exists**
https://docs.dyalog.com/20.0/language-reference-guide/primitive-functions/less-than/
**Version of the documentation in which you are reporting the error**
2026-05-06 v20.0:662a331439
**Describe the error**
The comparison primitives such as Less Than all say that they receive numeric arrays, but in fact, they only receive, as far as I can tell, real arrays, and not complex ones. On complex values they return a DOMAIN ERROR.

Research direction
Start with the Less Than page at the URL in the issue and review the descriptions of the comparison primitives. Verify the behavior with complex values if needed, then update the affected documentation so it accurately states the supported array type and resulting error behavior; the work is done when the comparison primitive pages no longer describe complex arrays as accepted inputs.
