Home >>VB.Net Programs >VB.Net program to compare two strings
Here, we will read two strings and compare and print the appropriate message on the console screen using the equal to = operator.
Program :
Here is the source code for comparing the two strings. The program given is compiled and successfully executed.
Example
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
Console.Write("Enter string1: ")
str1 = Console.ReadLine()
Console.Write("Enter string2: ")
str2 = Console.ReadLine()
If str1 = str2 Then
Console.WriteLine("Strings are equal")
Else
Console.WriteLine("Strings are not equal")
End If
End Sub
End Module
Explanation:
We created a Module1 module in the above program that contains a method Main(). We have created two string variables, str1 and str2, in the Main() method.
Console.Write("Enter string1: ") str1 = Console.ReadLine() Console.Write("Enter string2: ") str2 = Console.ReadLine()
In the above code, we read two strings str1 and str2
If str1 = str2 Then Console.WriteLine("Strings are equal") Else Console.WriteLine("Strings are not equal") End If
We use statements in the above code to compare two strings, and then we print a suitable message on the console screen.
