      technically the symbol is parsed as “greater than”. So syntactically they are not wrong, but we are not accustomed to reading it like that

  I think <500 steps a day is meant here.

    500> steps and <500 steps means the exact same thing though.

      Yes thank you. However the comment above seems to imply the opposite.

        Yes, that part is right, above comment doesn’t know how to read ‘greater than’ symbols.
