# Programming and Intuition

**Javascript:
**
```
console.log("A" > "a") //Intuition says true
``` 


**Swift**:


```
print("A">"a") //Intuition says true

``` 

What is the expected result? My mental about English alphabets were Upper case letters were bigger than Lower case letters. Hence I expected the result to be true.

**Result is: 
**
```
false
``` 

**Why is my intuition wrong?
**

My mental model of alphabets was correct in Real-world but the Programming languages' model about alphabets are different than mine.
