What is the output if we compare two integers which are converted to string format?

Question

Is '2' > '10'? What is the output if we compare two integers which are converted to string format?

I am getting true but it's false, right?

Strings are compared *lexicographically*, character by character; `'1' < '2'` so `'10' < '2'`. — jonrsharpe, Apr 02 '20 at 08:20

When comparing strings, you compare them lexicographically. The character 2 comes after the character 1, so the result is True. The fact that these two strings could be converted to integers is inconsequential.
