Reason — The compareTo() method compares two strings lexicographically by comparing their characters one by one. It returns the difference between the first pair of characters that differ in the two strings.
Here, comparing "ANGER" and "ANGEL":
- Characters
'A','N','G', and'E'are the same in both strings at positions 0 to 3. - At position 4,
'R'(ASCII value 82) in"ANGER"is compared with'L'(ASCII value 76) in"ANGEL". - The difference is
82 - 76 = 6.
Thus, the output is 6.

Consider the program segment:
int p = 0; for(p = 4; p > 0; p -= 2); System.out.print(p); System.out.println(p);The above statement will display:
- 42
- 4200
- 0
0 - 00
The output of the below statement is:
System.out.println("I said, \"It\'s wise to obey elders.\"");- I said, 'It is wise to obey elders.'
- I said, "It's wise to obey elders."
- I said, It's wise to elders.
- "'It's wise to obey elders.'"
