hi ben, 1) You can use equal method for string comparison -ex. age.equal(ageInputString) 2) In order to get the largest value, first you need to convert it from string to integer (ex. int ageint = Integer.parseInt(age)) . To get the maximum value, you may need to use math.max() method or conditional if below.
Example max = (num1 > num2) ? num1 : num2; max = (max > num3) ? max : num3; regards sam ________________________________ From: ben <[email protected]> To: Free Java Programming Online Training Course By Sang Shin <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 9:32:44 AM Subject: [java programming] comparing strings hi all, i want to know how to compare strings... for example if i get the age as a string... how can i compare them and get the largest value to print... thanks ben... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/javaprogrammingwithpassion?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
