Functions.presentation.compareString

Call as

Functions.presentation.compareString(operator, left, right, primary)

Record it as a dependency named Functions.presentation.compareString (accepting the completion does this), then call it by that name.

What it does

Format comparison wording with named Boolean alternatives when the operator has a negative form. The primary flag marks the positive form as the primary alternative. Positive operator labels use the captured operator map; negative labels and nullable dispatch retain their live addon APIs.

Arguments

Returns

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.
