Comparison Operations

The next group of functions are the comparisons.

==,etc.

int String::operator==(const String&) const;

The comparison operators (==, !=, <, <=, >=, and >) are all implemented for Strings. s == t is true if Strings s and t represent identical sequences of characters. As usual, != is the negation of ==. The other comparison operators implement lexicographic ordering using native character comparison. If String s is a proper initial substring of String t, then s < t is true.
