How does string compare work in Python ?

Question

How does string compare work in Python ?
For example -
("ten" == "six")

what is the output of this compare ?

Answer 1

It depends where you are using it. If you used it in an if statement, the code within would not execute.

Example

if 'ten' == 'six':
print("True")
else:
print('False')

Your output, if just ran as a line of code would output as False.

>>> 'ten' == 'six'
False

Answer 2

Yes it works. comparing Strings gives you a boolean statement of True or False.

Answer 3

but how does the compare happen in a sys s/w perspective ? or in-terms of a h/w processor ?

Answer 4

it compares the ASCII codes
