Comparing Strings in Ruby

Ruby strings can be compared using comparison operators (==, <, >, etc.).

"hello" == "hello"   # true
"hello" == "goodbye" # false

String comparison in Ruby is case sensitive:

"hi" == "HI" # false
"oRanGE" == "ORanGe" # false
"oRanGE".downcase == "ORanGe".downcase # true
