Help
I am having trouble with my looping. It keep looping over and over. can somebody help me. For example
Enter the first string:
tanning
Enter the second string:
tanned
String Length of s1: 7
String Length of s2: 6
tanning follows tanned
tanning follows tanned
tanning follows tanned
tanning follows tanned
tanning follow tanned
Another example is it tell me the names are the same and there not.
Enter the first string:
fish
Enter the second string:
feed
String Length of s1: 4
String Length of s2: 4
The names are the same
fish follow feed
Here is my code
Code:
public class Strings
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s1, s2;
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the first string:");
s1 = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the second string:");
s2 = scan.nextLine();
//Sting length of the characters
System.out.println("String Length of s1: " + s1.length());
System.out.println("String Length of s2: " + s2.length());
//Compare the characters
char ch1, ch2;
for (int i = 0; (i < s1.length()) || (i < s2.length()); i++) {
ch1 = s1.charAt(i);
ch2 = s2.charAt(i);
if(ch1 < ch2){
System.out.print(s1 + " comes before " + s2);
return;
}
if (ch1 > ch2){
System.out.print(s1 + " follow " + s2);
return;
}
if (s1.length()< s2.length()){
System.out.println(s1 + " comes before " + s2);
}else if (s1.length() > s2.length()) {
System.out.println(s1 + " follows " + s2);
}else
System.out.println("The names are the same");
}
}
}

Re: Help
If the characters are the same but the lengths different your not breaking out of the loop.

Re: Help
Ok how do I get it to just say tanning follows tanned one time instead of it repeating more than once.
