I want to compare tuples a = (a1, a2, a3) and b = (b1, b2, b3) and use following result:
- -1 in the case of a < b
- 0 in the case of a == b
- 1 in the case of a > b
Is there builtin function which allows to do this?

So you want the `cmp()` function, which was removed from Python 3. Why do you need this? – Martijn Pieters Apr 15 '17 at 11:46

@MartijnPieters, it is just for educational purposes. I am just learning python – Alex Aparin Apr 15 '17 at 11:46

Then why are you asking us to do this for you? Try things yourself and ask questions about specific details you got stuck with. – Martijn Pieters Apr 15 '17 at 11:47
