Note: If the current locale is C or POSIX, this function works the same way as strcmp().

string2 Required. Specifies the second string to compare

Return Value: This function returns:
  • 0 - if the two strings are equal
  • <0 - if string1 is less than string2
  • >0 - if string1 is greater than string2
