Example List comparison 020

 

 

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

The first Quoted List is greater than the second List.

(> '(a b c d e) '(a (b c) (d e) g )) Returns: true

The first List is lesser than the second Pair.

(< '(1 2 3 4) '(A B C D)) Returns: true

Notes and Hints

If you prefer an integer resulting from the comparison (0 for equal, -1 for less than, and 1 for greater than), use the compare function.
