Description | Use the = (greater than or equal to) operator to compare two numbers or to compare the alphabetical order of two strings. When comparing strings, the = operator compares the two values character by character, using the ASCII value of each character. For example, "z" comes after "a" in the ASCII characterset, so the following are all true:
If the strings are of different lengths, so that the trailing characters in one string are compared to missing characters in the other, the missing characters are considered to have lower value than any character. For example, "abc" = "ab". If the caseSensitive property is true, the comparison between two strings treats uppercase letters as coming before lowercase letters. If the caseSensitive property is false, the comparison is not case-sensitive, so a is considered equivalent to A. |
