Java String Exercises: Compare two strings lexicographically
Java String: Exercise-5 with Solution
Write a Java program to compare two strings lexicographically. Two strings are lexicographically equal if they are the same length and contain the same characters in the same positions.
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
public class Exercise5 {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String str1 = "This is Exercise 1";
String str2 = "This is Exercise 2";
System.out.println("String 1: " + str1);
System.out.println("String 2: " + str2);
// Compare the two strings.
int result = str1.compareTo(str2);
// Display the results of the comparison.
if (result < 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is less than " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
else if (result == 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is equal to " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
else // if (result > 0)
{
System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\"" +
" is greater than " +
"\"" + str2 + "\"");
}
}
}
Sample Output:
String 1: This is Exercise 1 String 2: This is Exercise 2 "This is Exercise 1" is less than "This is Exercise 2"

Collections.sort(testList); Collections.reverse(testList);
That will do what you want. Remember to import Collections though!
