    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to think of a XSL snippet that would check if a class has all the students with the same lastname. It yes, then (do anything like) print "all lastnames are same" else print "all lastnames are not same". </p> <p>It really doesn't matter what to print. I am just trying to find the right logic for it.</p> <p>Here is my sample XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;root&gt; &lt;class name="Physics"&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;John&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Doe&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Mary&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Doe&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Ralph&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Doe&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;/class&gt; &lt;class name="Math"&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;John&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Doe&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Mary&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Doe&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;student&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Tee&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Rex&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/student&gt; &lt;/class&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>Therefore, for Physics class it would print "all lastnames are same". And for math class, it would print "all lastnames are not same".</p> <p>(This is not my real XML because it was irreducible to a smaller problem, so instead I custom made this XML to represent my issue)</p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>regards, Shobhit</p>
