💖 lsamen(3) — string comparison 💖

okay so bestie, this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and we're doing a full vibe check on lsamen. It's literally a string comparison function and it's giving iconic utility energy. No cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

  • lsamen — lsamen: string comparison

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Functions

  • logical function lsamen (n, ca, cb) — LSAMEN

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

the full detailed description is basically the function documentation below, bestie — keep scrolling, it's worth it 💫

💅 Function Documentation 💅

logical function lsamen (integer n, character*( * ) ca, character*( * ) cb)

LSAMEN

🎯 Purpose:

okay so here's the whole point, bestie: LSAMEN tests if the first N letters of CA are the same as the first N letters of CB, regardless of case. It returns .TRUE. if CA and CB are equivalent except for case and .FALSE. otherwise. It also returns .FALSE. if LEN( CA ) or LEN( CB ) is less than N. Periodt. 💅

and the source block is literally:

🌸 Parameters 🌸

  • N — the number of characters in CA and CB to be compared, and it's an INTEGER, bestie.
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The number of characters in CA and CB to be compared.
!>
  • CA — it's CHARACTER*(*), a whole string vibe.
!>          CA is CHARACTER*(*)
!>
  • CB — also CHARACTER*(*); CA and CB specify two character strings of length at least N, and only the first N characters of each string will be accessed. (Important!)
!>          CB is CHARACTER*(*)
!>          CA and CB specify two character strings of length at least N.
!>          Only the first N characters of each string will be accessed.
