ASM < and >.. huh ?

[calamari]

What are the < and > doing in a 6502 assembly language statement? Is it saying to make the value one less/more, or is it something else?

 

For example:

LDX #<c_PAGE_SIZE

 

Thanks,

< means, take the lower and > means, take the higher 8 bits from a 16 bit value (constant).
