compare
|
The compare function returns 0 if its field data elements are identical.
If {brick1} is less than {brick2}, then -1 is returned.
If {brick1} is greater than {brick2} , then +1 is returned.
Two Bricks are equal if their field data elements are identical.
Use the compare function when you wish to compare two arguments of the same Data Type and the result value needs to be represented as a numeric (0, 1 or -1). If a Boolean result is desired, then the Comparison Functions (=, <>, <, <=, >, >=) or the compareEQ, compareNE, compareGT, compareGE, compareLT, compareLE should be used instead.
Returns 0 if the two Bricks are equal, Returns -1 if brick1 is less
than brick2, returns +1 if brick1 is greater than brick2.
Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.
Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments. Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
