In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1 diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a chord.

So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or the chord is shorter.

I hope this answers your question! (:
