compare
|
The compare Function returns 0 if its arguments are equivalent.
If {dir1} is less than {dir2} , then -1 is returned. If {dir1}
is greater than {dir2} , then +1 is returned. Two Directories are equal if the keys and
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 the two Directories are equal, Returns -1 if dir1 is less
than dir2, returns +1 if dir1 is greater than dir2.
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.
