Java Example - String Comparison

Java Examples

In the following example, we use the string functions compareTo(string), compareToIgnoreCase(String), and compareTo(object string) to compare two strings and return the difference in ASCII values of the first characters.

Here is the example code:

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) );  // Case-insensitive
      System.out.println( str.compareTo(objStr.toString()));
   }
}

The output of the above code example is:

-32
0
0
