basic_string::compare

Performs a case sensitive comparison with a specified string to determine if the two strings are equal or if one is lexicographically less than the other.

int compare(
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Str
) const;
int compare(
    size_type _Pos1, 
    size_type _Num1,
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Str
) const;
int compare(
    size_type _Pos1,
    size_type _Num1,
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Str, 
    size_type _Off, 
    size_type _Count
) const;
int compare(
    const value_type* _Ptr
) const;
int compare(
    size_type _Pos1,
    size_type _Num1,
    const value_type* _Ptr
) const;
int compare(
    size_type _Pos1,
    size_type _Num1,
    const value_type* _Ptr
    size_type _Num2
) const;

Parameters

  • _Str
    The string that is to be compared to the operand string.

  • _Pos1
    The index of the operand string at which the comparison begins.

  • _Num1
    The maximum number of characters from the operand string to be compared.

  • _Num2
    The maximum number of characters from the parameter string to be compared.

  • _Off
    The index of the parameter string at which the comparison begins.

  • _Count
    The maximum number of characters from the parameter string to be compared.

  • _Ptr
    The C-string to be compared to the operand string.

Return Value

A negative value if the operand string is less than the parameter string; zero if the two strings are equal; or a positive value if the operand string is greater than the parameter string.

Remarks

The compare member functions compare either all or part of the parameter and operand strings depending on which in used.

The comparison performed is case sensitive.
