Local Compare is a string method {localCompare() method} in JavaScript, which is used to compare two strings in the cureent locale. The parameter for the localCompare() method is the 'String', nothing but a string to be compared with string 'String' object. 

    <p>Click the below button for comparing the two strings.</p>
    <input type="button" value="Compare" onclick="Function()" />
    <p id="myId"></p>

    <script>
        function Function() {
            var a = "A B C D E F";
            var b = "E F G H I J";
            var r = a.localeCompare(b)
            document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r;
        }
    </script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId" to the second <p> element, there are two strings with variable a & b in the <script> code, we are comparing the two strings with the string method localeCompare(). Onclick of the button "Compare" in the HTML code fires the Function() in the <script> code at the same time string method localeCompare() compares the two strings and gives the result. The result will be "-1", because the string 'a' is sorted before the string 'b'.

OUTPUT

If string 'a' and string 'b' are equal.

    <p>Click the below button for comparing the two strings.</p>
    <input type="button" value="Compare" onclick="Function()" />
    <p id="myId"></p>

    <script>
        function Function() {
            var a = "A B C D E F";
            var b = "A B C D E F";
            var r = a.localeCompare(b)
            document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r;
        }
    </script>

Two strings are equal

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId" to the second <p> element, there are two strings with variable a & b in the <script> code, we are comparing the two strings with the string method localeCompare(). Onclick of the button "Compare" in the HTML code fires the Function() in the <script> code at the same time string method localeCompare() compares the two strings and gives the result. The result will be "0", because the string 'a' and the string 'b' are equal.

OUTPUT

If string 'a' is sorted after string 'b'.

    <p>Click the below button for comparing the two strings.</p>

    <p id="myId"></p>

    <script>
        function Function() {
            var a = "G H I J K L";
            var b = "A B C D E F";
            var r = a.localeCompare(b)
            document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r;
        }
    </script>

String 'a' sorted after string 'b'

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId" to the second <p> element, there are two strings with variable a & b in the <script> code, we are comparing the two strings with the string method localeCompare(). Onclick of the button "Compare" in the HTML code fires the Function() in the <script> code at the same time string method localeCompare() compares the two strings and gives the result.
