Expression

Value /Explanation

str1 < str2

true

str1 = "Hello" and str2 = "Hi". The first characters

of str1 and str2 are the same, but the second character "e"

of str1 is less than the second character "i" of str2.

Therefore, str1 < str2 is true.

str1 > "Hen"

false

str1 = "Hello". The first two characters of str1 and

"Hen" are the same, but the third character "l" of str1 is

less than the third character "n" of "Hen". Therefore,

str1 > "Hen" is false.

str3 < "An"

true

str3 = "Air". The first characters of str3 and "An" are

the same, but the second character "i" of "Air" is less than

the second character "n" of "An". Therefore, str3 < "An"

is true.

str1 == "hello"

false

str1 = "Hello". The first character "H" of str1 is less

than the first character "h" of "hello" because the ASCII

value of "H" is 72, and the ASCII value of "h" is 104.

Therefore, str1 == "hello" is false.

str3 <= str4

true

str3 = "Air" and str4 = "Bill". The first character

"A" of str3 is less than the first character "B" of str4.

Therefore, str3 <= str4 is true.

str2 > str4

true

str2 = "Hi" and str4 = "Bill". The first character

"H" of str2 is greater than the first character "B" of str4.

Therefore, str2 > str4 is true.

Expression

 

Value/Explanation

 

str4 >= "Billy"

false

str4 = "Bill". It has four characters, and "Billy" has

five characters. Therefore, str4 is the shorter string. All four

characters of str4 are the same as the corresponding first

four characters of "Billy", and "Billy" is the larger

string. Therefore, str4 >= "Billy" is false.

str5 <= "Bigger"

true

str5 = "Big". It has three characters, and "Bigger"

has six characters. Therefore, str5 is the shorter string.

All three characters of str5 are the same as the

corresponding first three characters of "Bigger",

and "Bigger" is the larger string. Therefore,

str5 <= "Bigger" is true.
