How does the Java compareTo() method, compare strings?
The compareTo() method compares the Number object that invoked the method to the argument. It is possible to compare Byte, Long, Integer, etc.
However, two different types cannot be compared, both the argument and the Number object invoking the method should be of the same type.
Example
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Integer x = 5;
System.out.println(x.compareTo(3));
System.out.println(x.compareTo(5));
System.out.println(x.compareTo(8));
}
}Output
1 0 -1
