Answer 1

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python 3

1. firstStr = input("Enter first string: ")
2. secondStr = input("Enter second string: ")
4. if(firstStr < secondStr):
5.    print("The first string comes first alphabetically.")
6. elif(firstStr > secondStr):
7.    print("The second string comes first alphabetically.")
8. else:
9.    print("The first and second string are same")

Explanation:

Firstly, prompt the user to input two strings (Line 1 - 2).

Next create if else if statement to check if the firstStr is less than, greater than or equal to the secondStr and then print the appropriate message accordingly (Line 4- 9). For example, the program display message "The first string comes first alphabetically." if it find the firstStr is less than secondStr.
