Example for compareTo() method 

In this tutorial, We will discuss about the compareTo() method of the Java character class. This method compares two character objects according to code value and returns numerical value. This method returns positive value if the non argument character is greater than argument character, and returns negative argument character is greater than the non argument character. returns 0 if both the characters are same numerically.

Example:ChartacterCompareTo.java

package com.devmanuals;

public class CharacterCompareTo {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Character ch1 = new Character('a');
		Character ch2 = new Character('A');
		Character ch3 = new Character('a');
		System.out.println(ch1.compareTo(ch2));
		System.out.println(ch1.compareTo(ch3));
		System.out.println(ch2.compareTo(ch3));
	}

}
