Comparison is case sensitive. Returns 1 when x > y, -1 when x < y, and 0 when x == y. For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise. ## Syntax ```js math.compareText(x, y) ``` ### Parameters Parameter | Type | Description --------- | ---- | ----------- `x` | string &#124; Array &#124; DenseMatrix | First string to compare `y` | string &#124; Array &#124; DenseMatrix | Second string to compare ### Returns Type | Description ---- | ----------- number &#124; Array &#124; DenseMatrix | Returns the result of the comparison: 1 when x > y, -1 when x < y, and 0 when x == y. ## Examples ```js math.compareText('B', 'A') // returns 1 math.compareText('2', '10') // returns 1 math.compare('2', '10') // returns -1 math.compareNatural('2', '10') // returns -1 math.compareText('B', ['A', 'B', 'C']) // returns [1, 0, -1] ``` ## See also [equal](equal.md), [equalText](equalText.md), [compare](compare.md), [compareNatural](compareNatural.md)
