String Comparison Rules Explained

When comparing strings, comparisons are typically made following these rules:

1. Firstly, compare the lengths of the strings, where the string with the longer length is greater than the string with the shorter length.
2. If the lengths of two strings are equal, then compare the characters at corresponding positions based on their ASCII values.
3. Compare characters at the same position in two strings, if the ASCII value of a character in one string is greater than the corresponding character in the other string, then that string is larger.
4. If the string contains both letters and numbers, the ASCII value of the letters is greater than the ASCII value of the numbers.
5. If one string is a prefix of another string, then the shorter string is less than the longer string.

By comparing according to the above rules, we can determine the relative size of the two strings.
