compare
|
The compare function returns 0 if both Pair (or List) arguments are
equivalent. If pair1 is less than pair2, then -1 is returned. If pair1 is greater
than pair2, then +1 is returned. Two Pairs are equal if all of the values from both
are equal.
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 Pairs are equal, Returns -1 if pair1 is less than
pair2, returns +1 if pair1 is greater than pair2 .
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.
