Line 7:
* How to achieve both case sensitive comparisons and case insensitive comparisons within the language
* How the language handles comparison of numeric strings if these are not treated lexically
* Demonstrate the other kinds of string comparisons that the language provides. For example, demonstrate the difference between generic comparison and coercive comparison if your language supports such a distinction. (Generic means the actual semantics of the comparison depends on the types involved; coercive comparisons force one kind of semantics or another instead.)
