Write code to take two words from the user. The program should convert these to lower case, then compare them: printing a positive number if string1 appears after string2 alphabetically, a negative number if string1 appears before string2 alphabetically and zero if the two strings are identical. Make sure your program does not produce any additional numerical output other than this number or it may not be graded correctly.

Use compareTo.

Explanation:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class U2_L3_Activity_Three{

 public static void main(String[] args){

   Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

   System.out.println("Enter first word: ");

   String word1 = scan.nextLine();

   System.out.println("Enter second word: ");

   String word2 = scan.nextLine();

//I had to make the string all lowercase or all uppercase for when I did this

   word1 = word1.toLowerCase();

   word2 = word2.toLowerCase();

   System.out.println("Result: " + word1.compareTo(word2));

 }

}

we can all learn from our past mistakes because we all have different ways of learning different types of techniques. my way may or may not another classmate remember and have the repetition to acknowledge such standard. such as remembering acronyms. using abbreviations to us remember keep things in order in our memory. this us figure out what comes next in the sequence. if so, what we have is a sentence of just letters all in caps. we either know the meaning or have no idea what it stands for. most of the time we know the meaning and context. but most of us who don't know, should learn by having a quick glance at what needs to be remembered. such as repetition in the memory for acronyms. one way that me, is the fact that i'm always doing math and english assignments. so we have to remember specific meanings such as soapstone for documents, such as citing correctly. or pemdas for doing the equations correctly, even if it's the super long way. this works for everyone. you just have to find what works for you by practicing and repetition daily.
