Given the code below, what is the output in the label?Dim strA As String = "Pink"Dim strB As String = "Orange"If String.Compare(strA, strB) = 0 ThenlblAnswer.Text = strA & " is equal to " & strBElseIf String.Compare(strA, strB) lblAnswer.Text = strA & " comes before " & strBElseIf String.Compare(strA, strB) > 0 ThenlblAnswer.Text = strA & " comes after " & strBEnd Ifa. There will be a syntax error; therefore there will be no output in the label.b. Pink comes after Orangec. Pink comes before Oranged. There is not enough information to determine the output in the label

Answer:

The output is Pink comes after Orange

Explanation:

In this code the method String.Compare is being used. This method is used to compared two strings. String.Compare(String,String) is a method that returns an integer value. This integer value indicates the relative position of the two specified strings in the sort order. The return value of the Compare method can be less than zero, greater than zero or equals to zero. This integer shows the lexical relationship between the two strings.

  • If the return value is less than zero this indicates that the first string precedes the second string in the sort order.
  • If the return value is Zero this means that both the strings are in the same position in the sort order.
  • If the return value is greater than zero this means that the first string follows the second string in the sort order.

In the given code there are two strings to be compared: strA which is Pink and strB that is Orange.

  • The statement  If String.Compare(strA, strB) = 0 is using If condition to compare these two strings to check if strA is equal to strB in sort order. This cannot be true as Pink is not equal to Orange.
  • The next If statement ElseIf String.Compare(strA, strB)<0 compares the two strings to check if strA precedes strB in sort order. This is also not true because Pink does not precede Orange.
  • The next if statement ElseIf String.Compare(strA, strB) > 0 compares two strings to check if strA follows strB. This is true because Pink follows Orange in the sort order or alphabetically. So the following line will be displayed as output Pink comes after Orange.
