Compare two objects of Character type in Java

To compare two objects of Character type in Java, use the compareTo() method.

Firstly, we have created two Character type.

Character one = new Character('m');
Character two = new Character('k');

Now, to compare them, we have used the compareTo() method.

int res = one.compareTo(two);

The following is the example that compares character objects.

Example

 Live Demo

public class Demo {
   public static void main(String []args) {
      Character one = new Character('m');
      Character two = new Character('k');
      System.out.println("Character object 1: "+one);
      System.out.println("Character object 2: "+two);
      int res = one.compareTo(two);
      if (res == 0) {
         System.out.println("Both are equal!");
      } else if (res < 0) {
         System.out.println("Character 1 is less than Character 2");
      } else if (res > 0) {
         System.out.println("Character 1 is less than Character 2");
      }
   }
}

Output

Character object 1: m
Character object 2: k
Character 1 is less than Character 2
