Compare(ICharSequence, ICharSequence)
Compares two CharSequence instances lexicographically.
[Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)I", "", ApiSince=34)]
public static int Compare (Java.Lang.ICharSequence cs1, Java.Lang.ICharSequence cs2);[<Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)I", "", ApiSince=34)>]
static member Compare : Java.Lang.ICharSequence * Java.Lang.ICharSequence -> intParameters
- cs1
- ICharSequence
the first CharSequence
- cs2
- ICharSequence
the second CharSequence
Returns
the value 0 if the two CharSequence are equal;
a negative integer if the first CharSequence
is lexicographically less than the second; or a
positive integer if the first CharSequence is
lexicographically greater than the second.
- Attributes
Remarks
Compares two CharSequence instances lexicographically. Returns a negative value, zero, or a positive value if the first sequence is lexicographically less than, equal to, or greater than the second, respectively.
The lexicographical ordering of CharSequence is defined as follows. Consider a CharSequencecs of length len to be a sequence of char values, cs[0] to cs[len-1]. Suppose k is the lowest index at which the corresponding char values from each sequence differ. The lexicographic ordering of the sequences is determined by a numeric comparison of the char values cs1[k] with cs2[k]. If there is no such index k, the shorter sequence is considered lexicographically less than the other. If the sequences have the same length, the sequences are considered lexicographically equal.
