Java Examples - String Comparison
Java ExamplesIn the following example, we use the string functions compareTo(string), compareToIgnoreCase(String), and compareTo(object string) to compare two strings, and return the ASCII difference of the first letter in the strings.
The example code is as follows:
StringCompareEmp.java file
public class StringCompareEmp{
public static void main(String args[]){
String str = "Hello World";
String anotherString = "hello world";
Object objStr = str;
System.out.println( str.compareTo(anotherString) );
System.out.println( str.compareToIgnoreCase(anotherString) ); //Ignore case
System.out.println( str.compareTo(objStr.toString()));
}
}
The output of the above code example is:
