Hi,
I'm new to the list and programming.
i have a question, why when i evaluate strings ie 'a'> '3' it reports
true, how does python come up with that?
Welcome! As far as I know, it compares the value of the ord()'s.
ord('a')
97
ord('3')
51
This is their number in the ASCII system. You can also do this:
chr(97)
'a'
chr(51)
'3'
Hi,
Thank you!. I better read on ASCII and unicode and try a few using
char() and ord().
Regards,
Edward
