Javascript compare numbers as strings

Question

I wish to compare two strings in javascript. I am using localeCompare method but the output is not as expected

116457 < 3085
false

\"116457\" < \"3085\"
         


        

Answer 1

If you want to compare them without converting them to numbers, you can set numeric: true in the options parameter

console.log(
  "116457".localeCompare("3085", undefined, { numeric: true })
)
console.log(
  "116457".localeCompare("3085")
)
