Write a java program to compare two strings lexicographically.
Write a java program to compare two strings lexicographically.
public class Exercise {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String str1 = "This is Exercise 1";
String str2 = "This is Exercise 2";
System.out.println("String 1: " + str1);
System.out.println("String 2: " + str2);
// Compare the two strings.
int result = str1.compareTo(str2);
// Display the results of the comparison.
if (result < 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is less than " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
else if (result == 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is equal to " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
else // if (result > 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is greater than " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
}
}
String 1: This is Exercise 1
String 2: This is Exercise 2
"This is Exercise 1" is less than "This is Exercise 2"

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
