      int result = str1.compareTo(str2);

      // prints the return value of the comparison
      if (result < 0) {
         System.out.println("str1 is greater than str2");
      } else if (result == 0) {
         System.out.println("str1 is equal to str2");
      } else {
         System.out.println("str1 is less than str2");
