C# lambda expression reverse direction <=

Question

I have seen some code which uses the <= operator. Can you explain what is the use of having lambda in reverse direction?

Now, be honest. You're kidding, aren't you? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1642028 — Kobi, Dec 03 '09 at 10:26
Having looking at 1000 lines of code,I got confused.sorry guys. — user215675, Dec 03 '09 at 10:27
no it isn't, it's a low quality question, but because it's 'funny' it's allowed to be kept? — user3791372, Jul 24 '14 at 17:24
Easy to answer != Low Quality. I'm not sure what is with the compulsion to close everything. Every developer has moments where they need to search something that should be obvious... Why not allow an actual answer instead of the first three pages of search results being "Google It". — Kelly Robins, Sep 12 '16 at 19:18

That's just less than or equal. I don't think C# lambdas work like that. It's too early in the morning. You need coffee.

That's not a lambda at all. That's less than or equal to

It is only used as 'less than or equal to' operation, as in:

if (i <= 5) {
    // ...
}
