}

// two strings not equal (case sensitivity matters):
stringOne = "This";

// you can also use equals() to see if two strings are the same:
if (stringOne.equals(stringTwo)) {

}

Serial.println(stringOne + " does not equal " + stringTwo);

// two numeric strings compared:
stringOne = "2";
stringTwo = "1";

Serial.println(stringOne + " >= " + stringTwo);

// comparison operators can be used to compare strings for alphabetic sorting too:
stringOne = String("Brown");

Serial.println(stringOne + " < Charles");
}

// the compareTo() operator also allows you to compare strings
// it evaluates on the first character that's different.
// if the first character of the string you're comparing to
// comes first in alphanumeric order, then compareTo() is greater than 0:
stringOne = "Cucumber";
stringTwo = "Cucuracha";
if (stringOne.compareTo(stringTwo) < 0 ) {
Serial.println(stringOne + " comes before " + stringTwo);
}
else {
Serial.println(stringOne + " comes after " + stringTwo);
}
delay(10000); // because the next part is a loop:
// compareTo() is handy when you've got strings with numbers in them too:
while (true) {
stringOne = "Sensor: ";
stringTwo = "Sensor: ";
stringOne += analogRead(A0);
stringTwo += analogRead(A5);
if (stringOne.compareTo(stringTwo) < 0 ) {
