I think I got it. Does the following code look like something a Fortran programmer would use to test two strings?
function evaluateinput(str1) result(string)
implicit none
character(12) str1
character(12) string
if (LLT(str1,'test')) then
string = 'less than'
else if (LGT(str1,'test')) then
string = 'greater than'
else
string = 'equal'
end if
return
end
