Creates an index set containing the indices where the vectors `Vec1` < `Vec2` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"  
PetscErrorCode VecWhichLessThan(Vec Vec1, Vec Vec2, IS *S)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***Vec1 -*** the first vector to compare
- ***Vec2 -*** the second vector to compare



## OutputParameter

- ***S -*** The index set containing the indices i where vec1[i] < vec2[i]





## Notes
The two vectors must have the same parallel layout

For complex numbers this only compares the real part
