Easy one: string/char comparison

[estudiantin]

I need to compare two character array elements to see if they have the same value, but using a text compare rather than a binary compare of the scan codes. I want to do what VB's Option Compare Text does rather than Option Compare Binary, which is what I am seeing as a result of this comparison:

if ((s[i]!=s[j]) || (s[i].Equals(s[j])))

For instance if the ith element contains the character P and the jth element contains p, then they must be equal and this if condition must return true.

string str1 = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(arr1).ToLower();
string str2 = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(arr2).ToLower();

int intResult = string.Compare(str1, str2);

Hi,

It looks to me like your first condition is testing if the entire array of "s" is equal to just one element.... is that really what you want to do?

I think all you need to say is:

if (s[i].Equals(s[j])) {
}

So if the values of element i equals element j then you will return true.

Hope this helps?
