rustrust string compare

Rust strings can be compared using the cmp() method. This method takes two strings as parameters and returns an Ordering enum which can be Less, Equal or Greater.

Example

let string1 = "Hello";
let string2 = "World";

let result = string1.cmp(&string2);

println!("{:?}", result);

Output example

Less

The cmp() method compares the two strings lexicographically and returns the result as an Ordering enum. The Ordering enum can be Less if the first string is lexicographically less than the second string, Equal if the two strings are equal, and Greater if the first string is lexicographically greater than the second string.
