Example Complex compare 021

 

 

Description

These examples use the compare functions to do a case-sensitive comparison of two objects of the same type. A Boolean value is returned.

 

Details

(setq X #c1.0) Returns: #<Complex 123456>
(setq Y #c1.0+1.0i) Returns: #<Complex 234567>

The first value is lesser than the second value.

(compare X Y) Returns: -1

The second value is greater than the first value.

(compare Y X) Returns: 1
(compare X X) Returns: 0

Notes and Hints

If the real parts are equal, the imaginary parts are compared. If one argument has only a real part, the imaginary part is taken to be zero.
