compareBlockNumbers

The compareBlockNumbers function compares two block numbers or tags and returns an integer indicating their relative order. The function takes two parameters, blockA and blockB, which can be either block numbers or tags. It returns -1 if blockA is less than blockB, 1 if blockA is greater than blockB, and 0 if blockA is equal to blockB.

Overall, the compareBlockNumbers function is a useful tool for comparing the position of blocks in the blockchain, and can be used in a variety of contexts where it is necessary to determine the relative order of blocks.

Here are some examples of how the function can be used:

• This would return -1, indicating that the pending block is newer than the latest block.
• This would return 1, indicating that block 12 is newer than block 11.
• This would return 0, indicating that block 12 is equal to the latest block.
