# <=(_:_:)

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the first tuple is ordered before or the same as the second in a lexicographical ordering.

## Declaration

```swift
func <= <A, B, C, D, E, F>(lhs: (A, B, C, D, E, F), rhs: (A, B, C, D, E, F)) -> Bool where A : Comparable, B : Comparable, C : Comparable, D : Comparable, E : Comparable, F : Comparable
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: A tuple of Comparable elements.
- `rhs`: Another tuple of elements of the same type as lhs.

## Discussion

Discussion Given two tuples (a1, a2, ..., aN) and (b1, b2, ..., bN), the first tuple is before or the same as the second tuple if and only if a1 < b1 or (a1 == b1 and (a2, ..., aN) <= (b2, ..., bN)).
