In summary, the code compares two string inputs and outputs them in ascending order. To make source code more readable, use the <code> tags. When using relational operators to compare strings, they are compared based on their ASCII values, with the higher ASCII value being considered greater. In the example provided, "aaaza" would be considered greater than "aabaa".

If “tomato” get entered first and “potato” get input afterward, what will the output be?

Code:
string input1;
string input2;

cin>>input1;
cin>>input2;

if (input1 < input2) {
	cout<<input1<<endl;
	cout<<input2<<endl;
}
else {
	cout<<input2<<endl;
	cout<<input1<<endl;
}

First, when composing a post, you will notice a toolbar directly above the text area, and in this toolbar is a button that will generate [CODE][/CODE] tags:

View attachment 5298

You can either click that button first, and then paste your code in between them, or you can paste your code into the post content, then select your code, and click the button to have the selected text wrapped with the tags.

This makes your source code stand out and easier to read since white space is preserved, allowing the indentation to be retained. Please edit your post to add these tags. ;)

Okay, when 2 strings are being compared using the relational operators, how exactly are they being compared? For example, can you tell me which of the following two strings is the greater in such a comparison?

  • aabaa
  • aaaza
