## Overview

![The Compare Node.](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-de9a3d71ee2c8fda6f572333c4fad526136b1c1f%2Fcomparenode.png?alt=media)

The **Compare** **Node** compares two **Strings** and outputs the result indicating whether they are equal or not in two forms: an **Int** and a **Bool**.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| ---------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `String 1` | **String** | The default value of the first **String** to be compared, if none is given in the `String 1` **Socket**.  |
| `String 2` | **String** | The default value of the second **String** to be compared, if none is given in the `String 2` **Socket**. |

## Inputs

| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**  | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `String 1`        | **String** | The first **String** to be compared.                                  |

| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Result`           | **Int**   | 0, if the **Strings** are equal; -1, if they are not.                                                                                  |
