Compares two specified String objects by evaluating the numeric values of the corresponding Char objects in each string.

public:
 static int CompareOrdinal(System::String ^ strA, System::String ^ strB);
public static int CompareOrdinal (string strA, string strB);
public static int CompareOrdinal (string? strA, string? strB);
static member CompareOrdinal : string * string -> int
Public Shared Function CompareOrdinal (strA As String, strB As String) As Integer

Parameters

strA
String

The first string to compare.

strB
String

The second string to compare.

Returns

Int32

An integer that indicates the lexical relationship between the two comparands.

Value Condition
Less than zero strA is less than strB.
Zero strA and strB are equal.
Greater than zero strA is greater than strB.

Examples

The following example performs and ordinal comparison of two strings that only differ in case.

// Sample for String::CompareOrdinal(String, String)
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   String^ str1 = "ABCD";
   String^ str2 = "abcd";
   String^ str;
   int result;
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "Compare the numeric values of the corresponding Char objects in each string." );
   Console::WriteLine( "str1 = '{0}', str2 = '{1}'", str1, str2 );
   result = String::CompareOrdinal( str1, str2 );
   str = ((result < 0) ? "less than" : ((result > 0) ? (String^)"greater than" : "equal to"));
   Console::Write( "String '{0}' is ", str1 );
   Console::Write( "{0} ", str );
   Console::WriteLine( "String '{0}'.", str2 );
}

/*
This example produces the following results:

str1 = 'ABCD', str2 = 'abcd'
String 'ABCD' is less than String 'abcd'.
*/

    }

Remarks

This method performs a case-sensitive comparison using ordinal sort rules. For more information about word, string, and ordinal sorts, see System.Globalization.CompareOptions. To perform a case-insensitive comparison using ordinal sort rules, call the Compare(String, String, StringComparison) method with the comparisonType argument set to StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase.

Because CompareOrdinal(String, String) is a static method, strA and strB can be null. If both values are null, the method returns 0 (zero), which indicates that strA and strB are equal. If only one of the values is null, the method considers the non-null value to be greater.

Compares substrings of two specified String objects by evaluating the numeric values of the corresponding Char objects in each substring.

public:
 static int CompareOrdinal(System::String ^ strA, int indexA, System::String ^ strB, int indexB, int length);
public static int CompareOrdinal (string strA, int indexA, string strB, int indexB, int length);

Parameters

strA
String

The first string to use in the comparison.

indexA
Int32

The starting index of the substring in strA.

strB
String

The second string to use in the comparison.

indexB
Int32

The starting index of the substring in strB.

length
Int32

The maximum number of characters in the substrings to compare.

Returns

Int32

A 32-bit signed integer that indicates the lexical relationship between the two comparands.

Value Condition
Less than zero The substring in strA is less than the substring in strB.
Zero The substrings are equal, or length is zero.
Greater than zero The substring in strA is greater than the substring in strB.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

strA is not null and indexA is greater than strA.Length.

-or-

strB is not null and indexB is greater than strB.Length.

-or-

indexA, indexB, or length is negative.

Examples

This following example demonstrates that CompareOrdinal and Compare use different sort orders.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   String^ strLow = "abc";
   String^ strCap = "ABC";
   String^ result = "equal to ";
   int x = 0;
   int pos = 1;
   
   // The Unicode codepoint for 'b' is greater than the codepoint for 'B'.
   x = String::CompareOrdinal( strLow, pos, strCap, pos, 1 );
   if ( x < 0 )
      result = "less than";

   if ( x > 0 )
      result = "greater than";

   Console::WriteLine( "CompareOrdinal(\"{0}\"[{2}], \"{1}\"[{2}]):", strLow, strCap, pos );
   Console::WriteLine( "   '{0}' is {1} '{2}'", strLow[ pos ], result, strCap[ pos ] );

   // In U.S. English culture, 'b' is linguistically less than 'B'.
   x = String::Compare( strLow, pos, strCap, pos, 1, false, gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US" ) );
   if ( x < 0 )
      result = "less than";
   else

Remarks

The indexA, indexB, and length parameters must be nonnegative.

The number of characters compared is the lesser of the length of strA less indexA, the length of strB less indexB, and length.

This method performs a case-sensitive comparison using ordinal sort rules. For more information about word, string, and ordinal sorts, see System.Globalization.CompareOptions.
