Python - compare strings
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to compare strings in Python.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
string1 = 'text 1'2
string2 = 'text 2'3
4
print(string1 is string2) # False5
print(string1 == string2) # False
In this example, we use == and is operators to check if strings have the same value (if they are equal).
xxxxxxxxxx1
string1 = 'text 1'2
string2 = 'text 2'3
4
string3 = 'text 1'5
6
print(string1 is string3) # True7
print(string2 is string3) # False8
9
print(string1 == string3) # True10
print(string2 == string3) # FalseOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
True2
False3
True4
FalseIn this example, we use ==, < and > operators to check which string should be first according to alphabet letters priority.
xxxxxxxxxx1
print('a' == 'a') # True2
print('a' < 'b') # True3
print('b' > 'a') # True4
5
print('aab' == 'aab') # True6
print('aac' > 'aaa') # True7
print('123' < '321') # True8
9
print('a' < 'a') # False10
print('a' < 'b') # True11
print('b' < 'a') # False12
13
print('aab' > 'aab') # False14
print('aac' > 'aaa') # True15
print('123' > '321') # False16
17
print('aab' == 'aab') # True18
print('aac' > 'aaa') # True19
print('123' < '321') # True20
21
print('a' < 'a') # False22
print('a' < 'b') # True23
print('b' < 'a') # False24
25
print('aab' > 'aab') # False26
print('aac' > 'aaa') # True27
print('123' > '321') # False
