Q: What is the output of the statement given below?


"ANGER".compareTo("ANGEL")

Answer: C

Explanation:

The compareTo() method compares two strings lexicographically.

"ANGER".compareTo("ANGEL") compares characters at each position.
'R' - 'L' = 82 - 76 = 6, so the result is 6.
Since "ANGER" comes after "ANGEL" lexicographically, the result should be positive.
Correct answer: (c) 6 (Correction from previous choice!)
