Compare Two Strings Java Program<\/h1>\n

In this post, we will learn how to compare two Strings using a simple Java program. We can use the String<\/strong> class in-built method compareTo()<\/strong> method to compare strings. The method returns zero if the strings are equal.<\/p>\n

The method signature is as follows:<\/p>\n

public int compareTo(String anotherString)<\/p>\n

Java program<\/h2>\n
package com.testingdocs.demo;\r\n\r\nimport java.util.Scanner;\r\n\r\npublic class SampleProgram {\r\n\r\n\tpublic static void main(String[] args) {\r\n\t\/\/declare Two String variables\r\n\tString str,anotherStr;\r\n\tScanner in = new Scanner(System.in);\r\n\r\n\t\/\/prompt for input strings\r\n\tSystem.out.print(\"Enter String 1: \");\r\n\tstr = in.nextLine();\r\n\tSystem.out.print(\"Enter String 2: \");\r\n\tanotherStr = in.nextLine();\r\n\tSystem.out.println(\"-----Program Output----\");\r\n\t\/\/compare the strings \r\n\tif(str.compareTo(anotherStr) == 0)\r\n\t\tSystem.out.println(\"The Two Strings are Equal.\");\r\n\telse\r\n\t\tSystem.out.println(\"The Two Strings are NOT Equal.\");\r\n\t}\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
