# String comparisons. They behave similarly to their number counterparts when
# given multiple arguments. Examples:
#
# ```elvish-transcript
# ~> >s lorem ipsum
# ▶ $true
# ~> ==s 1 1.0
# ▶ $false
# ~> >s 8 12
# ▶ $true
# ```

#doc:fn <s <=s ==s !=s >s >=s

# Output the width of `$string` when displayed on the terminal. Examples:
#
# ```elvish-transcript
# ~> wcswidth a
# ▶ 1
# ~> wcswidth lorem
# ▶ 5
# ~> wcswidth 你好，世界
# ▶ 10
# ```
fn wcswidth {|string| }

# Convert arguments to string values.
#
# ```elvish-transcript
# ~> to-string foo [a] [&k=v]
# ▶ foo
# ▶ '[a]'
# ▶ '[&k=v]'
# ```
fn to-string {|@value| }

# Outputs a string for each `$number` written in `$base`. The `$base` must be
# between 2 and 36, inclusive. Examples:
#
# ```elvish-transcript
# ~> base 2 1 3 4 16 255
# ▶ 1
# ▶ 11
# ▶ 100
# ▶ 10000
# ▶ 11111111
# ~> base 16 1 3 4 16 255
# ▶ 1
# ▶ 3
# ▶ 4
# ▶ 10
# ▶ ff
# ```
fn base {|base @number| }
