Example Pair comparison 019

 

 

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

(= '(A . B) '(A . B) ) Returns: true

The first Pair is greater than the second Pair.

(< '(A . B) '(A B C) ) Returns: false

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.
