The compare Function returns 0 if both Strings are equivalent.
If string1 is less than string2, then -1 is returned. If string1 is greater than
string2, then +1 is returned.
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 Strings are equal, Returns -1 if the string1 is less
than string2, returns +1 if string1 is greater than string2.
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.
