Comparable (from ruby core)
(from ruby core)¶
A String object holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes,
typically representing characters. String objects may be created using
String::new or as literals.
Because of aliasing issues, users of strings should be aware of the methods
that modify the contents of a String object. Typically, methods with names
ending in !'' modify their receiver, while those without a
!'' return a
new String. However, there are exceptions, such as String#[]=.
