compare
|
The compare function returns 0 if two objects: {obj1} and {obj2} are equivalent.
If the value of the first object {obj1} is less than the value of the second
object {obj1}, then -1 is returned. If {obj1} is greater than {obj2},
then +1 is returned.
When to use 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 Lists are equal, Returns -1 if list1 is less than
list2, returns +1 if list1 is greater than list2.
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.
