Compares the contents of a string with another string or a null-terminated array of CharT.

All comparisons are done via the compare() member function (which itself is defined in terms of Traits::compare()):

  • Two strings are equal if both the size of lhs and rhs are equal and each character in lhs has equivalent character in rhs at the same position.
  • The ordering comparisons are done lexicographically -- the comparison is performed by a function equivalent to std::lexicographical_compare.
1-6) Compares two basic_string objects.
7-12) Compares a basic_string object and a null-terminated array of CharT.

Parameters

lhs, rhs - strings whose contents to compare

Return value

true if the corresponding comparison holds, false otherwise.

Exceptions

1-6)
(none) (until C++14)
noexcept specification:  
noexcept
  
(since C++14)
7-12) (none)

Complexity

Linear in the size of the strings.
