String inequality

When comparing two strings of different lengths, the comparison is based on the number of characters in the shorter string.

1：If the shorter string would be greater than the same number of characters in the longer string, then the shorter string is greater than the longer string. 

2：If the shorter string would be less than the same number of characters in the longer string, then the shorter string would be less than the longer string.

:3：If the shorter string is equal to the same number of characters in the longer string, the longer string is greater than the shorter string.

Using this rule, the following examples would be true:
❑ “test” is greater than “boomerang”
❑ “test” is less than “velocity”

❑ “test” is less than “test1”

.section .data
string1:
.ascii “test”
length1:
.int 4

.ascii “test1”
length2:
.int 5
.section .text
.globl _start
