Comparing Sequences and Other Types =================================== - -Sequence objects may be compared to other objects with the same sequence type. -The comparison uses *lexicographical* ordering: first the first two items are -compared, and if they differ this determines the outcome of the comparison; if -they are equal, the next two items are compared, and so on, until either -sequence is exhausted. If two items to be compared are themselves sequences of -the same type, the lexicographical comparison is carried out recursively. If -all items of two sequences compare equal, the sequences are considered equal. -If one sequence is an initial sub-sequence of the other, the shorter sequence is -the smaller (lesser) one. Lexicographical ordering for strings uses the Unicode -code point number to order individual characters.
