Talk:String comparison

From Rosetta Code

Promote to task

Is there any reason why we shouldn't promote this to a full task? It seems clear enough and possible to implement in many different languages. –Donal Fellows 22:12, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

generic comparison and coercive comparison

Someone mentioned generic comparison and coercive comparison. We probably need some explanation of what both of those mean.

what is the exclamation mark good for in this line

!\>> Strictly Not Greater Than

and others? --Walterpachl 21:31, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Right, I'm not sure off the top of my head. It has probably been caused by me because the data that I provide usually comes from my own documentation development wiki that requires the addition of the exclamation mark to suppress the wiki engine from interpreting the following backslash symbol, and I have reformatted the page to a new layout at some point and forgot to remove the exclamation marks that I have previously added. If you know for sure the exclamation marks are wrong then remove them. I have got a manual somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment. Cheers, Mark.
