The compareTo() method in Java compares two strings lexicographically.
public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { String str1 = "Strings are immutable"; String str2 = new String("Strings are immutable"); String str3 = new String("Integers are not immutable"); int result = str1.compareTo( str2 ); System.out.println(result); result = str2.compareTo( str3 ); System.out.println(result); } }
