👉 A comparer is a tool used in computer science and programming to compare two values or objects. It compares them by sorting them in order of their value, then comparing them. This process helps in identifying which value is greater or lesser than the other one. For example: ```python # Comparing 5 and 10 using a comparer x = 5 y = 10 comparer = lambda x, y: (x > y) - (x < y)
