I think (test (eq* ?X "ABC")) may be fast because, (test (= 0 (str-compare
?X "ABC"))) requires one extra operation.
Hope that helps

Subject: JESS: eq* vs. str-compare
Am I correct in assuming that the following 2 alternatives for comparing
string values
produce the same results in JESS? Note, bind variable ?X is bound to a
STRING slot value.
(test (eq* ?X "ABC"))
(test (= 0 (str-compare ?X "ABC")))
If so, what are the advantages of using 1 versus the other? Is there a
performance difference?
Thanks in advance,
mike
