C#: Compare two substrings
Write a C# Sharp program to compare (less than, greater than, equal to) two substrings.
Sample Solution:-
C# Sharp Code:
using System;
// Define the Example21 class
class Example21
{
// Main method - entry point of the program
public static void Main()
{
// Define and initialize string variables
String str1 = "computer"; // String 1
String str2 = "system"; // String 2
String str; // String to store comparison result
int result; // Result of the comparison
// Display initial strings
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("str1 = '{0}', str2 = '{1}'", str1, str2);
// Perform comparison between substrings of str1 and str2
// Compare a substring of str1 starting at index 2 with a substring of str2 starting at index 0, each with a length of 2
result = String.Compare(str1, 2, str2, 0, 2);
// Determine the relationship between the compared substrings
str = ((result < 0) ? "less than" : ((result > 0) ? "greater than" : "equal to"));
// Display the comparison result
Console.Write("Substring '{0}' in '{1}' is ", str1.Substring(2, 2), str1);
Console.Write("{0} ", str);
Console.WriteLine("substring '{0}' in '{1}'.", str2.Substring(0, 2), str2);
}
}
Sample Output:
str1 = 'computer', str2 = 'system' Substring 'mp' in 'computer' is less than substring 'sy' in 'system'.
Flowchart:

Go to:
PREV : Write a program in C# Sharp to insert a substring before the first occurrence of a string.
NEXT : 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.
