The different ways of comparing string in Java are as follows:

Using user-defined function

  1. if (string1 > string2) - it will return a positive value.
  2. if both the strings are equal lexicographically
    i.e.(string1 == string2) it will return 0.
  3. if (string1 < string2) it will return a negative value.

The value is calculated as (int)str1.charAt(i) – (int)str2.charAt(i)

Using String.equals()

Using String.equalsIgnoreCase()

Using Objects.equals()

Using String.compareTo()
