comparer
is a Comparer
which is used to control the comparison. A comparer is a function that accepts two arguments and returns -1, 0, or 1 based on whether the first value is less than, equal to, or greater than the second. Comparers can be used to provide case-insensitive or culture and locale-aware comparisons.
The following built-in comparers are available in the formula language:
- Comparer.Ordinal: Used to perform an exact ordinal comparison
- Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase: Used to perform an exact ordinal case-insensitive comparison
- Comparer.FromCulture: Used to perform a culture-aware comparison
Example 1
Compare "1" and "A" using "en-US" locale to determine if the values are equal.
Usage
Comparer.Equals(Comparer.FromCulture("en-US"), "1", "A")
Output
false
