    text
    copied!<p>I want to compare 2 strings with eachother with the compareTo() function.</p> <p>example:</p> <pre><code>int result = "650".compareTo("651"); if(result &lt; 0){ System.out.println("smaller"); } else if(result &gt; 0){ System.out.println("bigger"); } else { System.out.println("equals"); } System.out.println(result); </code></pre> <p>this will output smaller which is correct.</p> <p>example 2:</p> <pre><code>int result = "650".compareTo("1000"); if(result &lt; 0){ System.out.println("smaller"); } else if(result &gt; 0){ System.out.println("bigger"); } else { System.out.println("equals"); } System.out.println(result); </code></pre> <p>This will return as output bigger. Which is kinda strange as 650 as number is smaller than 1000.</p> <p>How's that and how can i change it? (yes the numbers need to be in text format).</p> <p>I want to do this:</p> <pre><code>int result = "650/65".compareTo("1050/50"); if(result &lt; 0){ System.out.println("smaller"); } else if(result &gt; 0){ System.out.println("bigger"); } else { System.out.println("equals"); } </code></pre> <p>This returns that "650/65" is bigger than "1050/50" yet in fact it is smaller.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I've worked out the cases and this is how it is now:</p> <pre><code>String maat = "650/65"; int subMaatB = 0; int subMaatA = 0; if(maat.contains("/")){ try{ subMaatA = Integer.parseInt(maat.substring(0, maat.lastIndexOf("/"))); subMaatB = Integer.parseInt(maat.substring(maat.lastIndexOf("/")+1)); } catch (NumberFormatException e){ } } boolean resultA = subMaatA &gt;= 440; boolean resultB = subMaatB &gt;= 65; boolean resultC = subMaatA &lt;= 1050; boolean resultD = subMaatB &lt;= 50; if(resultA &amp;&amp; resultB &amp;&amp; resultC &amp;&amp; resultD){ System.out.println("BIGGER"); } else { System.out.println("Smaller"); } </code></pre> <p>So the case is, Maat has to be within a range of 440/65 and 1050/50. Maat should be between the range i've mentioned before.</p>
