compare(_:)

Returns the result of invoking Compare(_:options:range:) with no options and the receiver’s full extent as the range.

Declaration

func compare(_ string: String) -> ComparisonResult

Parameters

  • string:

    The string with which to compare the receiver.

    This value must not be nil. If this value is nil, the behavior is undefined and may change in future versions of macOS.

Return Value

Returns an ComparisonResult value that indicates the lexical ordering. ComparisonResult.orderedAscending the receiver precedes aString in lexical ordering, ComparisonResult.orderedSame the receiver and aString are equivalent in lexical value, and ComparisonResult.orderedDescending if the receiver follows aString.

Discussion

This method is equivalent to invoking compare(_:options:range:) with no options and the receiver’s full extent as the range.
