if(NSOrderedAscending == result) can someone explain this

Question

I read Apple's documentation and sometimes it feels like Apple's documentation is too complicated on purpose.

NSStringCompareOptions  compareOptions = NSDiacriticInsensitiveSearch;

if(NSOrderedAscending == result)

does it mean that the strings do not match?

Answer 1

NSOrderedAscending means: The left operand is smaller than the right operand. NSOrderedDescending means the opposite: The left operand is greater than the right operand.

Equality is represented by NSOrderedSame: The two operands are equal.
