what does the concept of using dot product and < do in the following code?

by

If both vectors are normalized (i.e. their lengths equal 1) the dot product returns the cosine of the angle between them (range is -1..+1). So the operator effectively returns whether the vector of the first vertex has a larger angle to the direction vector than the vector of the second vertex.
