You can use the comparison operators to compare strings. A strcmp function could be defined like this:
function strcmp(a, b) {
if (a.toString() < b.toString()) return -1;
if (a.toString() > b.toString()) return 1;
return 0;
}
Edit Here’s a string comparison function that takes at most min { length(a), length(b) } comparisons to tell how two strings relate to each other:
function strcmp(a, b) {
a = a.toString(), b = b.toString();
for (var i=0,n=Math.max(a.length, b.length); i<n && a.charAt(i) === b.charAt(i); ++i);
if (i === n) return 0;
return a.charAt(i) > b.charAt(i) ? -1 : 1;
}
