Once again, we’re back with another Python topic. Today, we’ll talk about how to compare strings in Python. Typically, I try to stay away from strings because they have a lot of complexity (e.g. different languages, implementations, etc.). That said, I decided to take a risk with this one. Hope you like it! As a bit of a teaser, here’s ...
