This function compares elements of two tuples.
cmp(tuple1, tuple2) |
Here is the detail of parameters:
tuple1: first tuple to be compared
tuple2: second tuple to be compared
If elements are of the same type, perform the compare and return the result. If elements are different types, check to see if they are numbers.
If we reached the end of one of the tuples, the longer tuple is "larger." If we exhaust both tuples and share the same data, the result is a tie, meaning that 0 is returned.
#!/usr/bin/python tuple1, tuple2 = (123, 'xyz'), (456, 'abc') print cmp(tuple1, tuple2); print cmp(tuple2, tuple1); tuple3 = tuple2 + (786,); print cmp(tuple2, tuple3) |
This will produce following result:
-1 1 -1 |
