(Operators) infix unicmp
Defined as:
multi sub infix:<unicmp>(Str \a, Str \b --> Order)multi sub infix:<unicmp>(Pair \a, Pair \b --> Order)multi sub infix:<coll>(Pair \a, Pair \b --> Order)
Unlike the cmp operator which sorts according to codepoint, unicmp
and coll
sort according to how most users would expect, that is, disregarding aspects of the particular character like capitalization.
say 'a' unicmp 'Z'; # Lesssay 'a' coll 'Z'; # Lesssay 'a' cmp 'Z'; # More
The main difference between coll
and unicmp
is that the behavior of the former can be changed by the $*COLLATION
dynamic variable.
NOTE: These are not yet implemented in the JVM.
