lz_compare
Whether the left number is less than, equal to or greater than the right.
long lz_compare( CLZNumber* leftOperand, CLZNumber* rightOperand );Compares values, not spellings: hexadecimal 10 equals 16, and 0.1 equals 0.10. A number in another base is compared exactly. Either side flagged infinite or not-a-number answers kUnordered.
Examples
| Call | Answer |

lz_compare( 3, −3 ) | kGreaterThan |
Each answer is what Addaptic printed for the call, at 36 places unless a setting is shown.
