Is there a string compareTo() ?

[Tanax]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there's a similar function to the Java String::compareTo() function?? E.g. one that will not only compare the 2 strings but also take into account the alphabetic ordering.

If you're not familiar with this, imagine comparing 2 strings

string str1 = "Hello";
string str2 = "Yo!";

int result = str1.compareTo(str2);

Result will become a negative value since "Hello" comes before "Yo" in an alphabetic order. Comparing str2.compareTo(str1) would generate a positive value.

Does this exists in C++?

str1 > str2 would evaluate to false.

strcmp for c-style strings
std::compare for std::string objects and c-style strings

[wolfgang]

string str1 = "Hello";
string str2 = "Yo!";

int result = str1.compare(str2);
