Example Dictionary compare 004

 

 

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

Both Dictionaries are equal.

(compare #{dic|X: 1 Y: 2} #{dic|X: 1 Y: 2}) Returns: 0

The key-value pair of the first Dictionary is lesser than the key-value pair of the second Dictionary.

(compare #{dic|X: 0 Y: 1} #{dic|X: 1 Y: 2}) Returns: -1

The key-value pair of the first Dictionary is lesser than the key-value pair of the second Dictionary.

(compare #{dic|A: 1 B: 2} #{dic|X: 1 Y: 2}) Returns: -1

Notes and Hints

If you prefer a Boolean resulting from the comparison, use the compareEQ, compareNE, compareGT, compareLT functions.
