# \$1lte
<a name="lte"></a>

The `$lte` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to match documents where the value of a specified field is less than or equal to the specified value. This operator is useful for filtering and querying data based on numerical comparisons.

**Parameters**
+ `field`: The field to compare.
+ `value`: The value to compare against.

## Example (MongoDB Shell)
<a name="lte-examples"></a>

The following example demonstrates the usage of the `$lte` operator to retrieve documents where the `quantity` field is less than or equal to 10.

**Create sample documents**

```
db.inventory.insertMany([
  { item: "canvas", qty: 100 },
  { item: "paint", qty: 50 },
  { item: "brush", qty: 10 },
  { item: "paper", qty: 5 }
]);
```

**Query example**

```
db.inventory.find({ qty: { $lte: 10 } });
```

**Output**

```
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "item" : "brush", "qty" : 10 },
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "item" : "paper", "qty" : 5 }
```
