C# Sharp Exercises: Compare two substrings using different cultures and ignoring the case of the substrings

C# Sharp String: Exercise-23 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to compare two substrings using different cultures and ignoring the case of the substrings.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

// Example for String.Compare(String, Int32, String, Int32, Int32, Boolean, CultureInfo)
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Example23 {
    public static void Main() {
//                 01234567
    String str1 = "COMPUTER";
    String str2 = "computer";
    String str;
    int result;

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("\n str1 = '{0}', str2 = '{1}'", str1, str2);
    Console.WriteLine("Ignore case, Turkish culture:");
    result = String.Compare(str1, 4, str2, 4, 2, true, new CultureInfo("tr-TR"));
    str = ((result < 0) ? "less than" : ((result > 0) ? "greater than" : "equal to"));
    Console.Write("Substring '{0}' in '{1}' is ", str1.Substring(4, 2), str1);
    Console.Write("{0} ", str);
    Console.WriteLine("substring '{0}' in '{1}'.", str2.Substring(4, 2), str2);

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Ignore case, invariant culture:");
    result = String.Compare(str1, 4, str2, 4, 2, true, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    str = ((result < 0) ? "less than" : ((result > 0) ? "greater than" : "equal to"));
    Console.Write("Substring '{0}' in '{1}' is ", str1.Substring(4, 2), str1);
    Console.Write("{0} ", str);
    Console.WriteLine("substring '{0}' in '{1}'.\n\n", str2.Substring(4, 2), str2);
    }
}

Sample Output:

str1 = 'COMPUTER', str2 = 'computer'                                                                          
Ignore case, Turkish culture:                                                                                 
Substring 'UT' in 'COMPUTER' is equal to substring 'ut' in 'computer'.                                        
                                                                                                              
Ignore case, invariant culture:                                                                               
Substring 'UT' in 'COMPUTER' is equal to substring 'ut' in 'computer'.

Previous: Write a C# Sharp program to compare two substrings that only differ in case. The first comparison ignores case and the second comparison considers case.
Next: Write a C# Sharp program to compare the last names of two people. It then lists them in alphabetical order.
