Hi!

String.compareTo() works the same way as "C" strcmp() function.

eg.
String s1 = "ABC"
String s2 = "ABD"
String s3 = "ABD"

System.out.println(''"+s1.compareTo(s2)); ---> output =1
System.out.println(""+s2.compareTo(s1));--->output= -1
System.out.println(""+s2.compareTo(s3)); ---> output = 0

Hope this helps

Regards

Dillan Fernando
