Let us see the below example:
                    String sen1= "Welcome to our school";
                    String sen2= "WELCOME to our school";
                    int value= sen1.compareToIgnoreCase(sen2);
                    System.out.println("Value: "+ value);
                 Output:
                 Value: -2

                 The endsWith(String str) Function
                 This function checks whether the string in the current object ends with the string given as a parameter. This function
                 returns a Boolean-type value. The syntax is:
                    boolean <variable> = String_datatype_Variable.endsWith(String str);
                 Let us see the below example:
                    String sen1= "We are studying in class 11";
                    String sen2= "11";
                    boolean b=sen1.endsWith(sen2);
                    if(b)
                    System.out.println(sen1+ " ends with " + sen2 );
                    else
                    System.out.println(sen1+ " does not end with " + sen2);
                 Output:
                 We are studying in class 11 ends with 11

                 The startsWith(String str) Function
                 This function checks whether the string in the current object starts with the string given as parameter. This function
                 returns a Boolean type value. The syntax is:

                    boolean <variable> = String_datatype_Variable.startsWith(String str);
                 Let us see the below example:

                    String str1="0", str2="0";
                    String sen1= "We are studying in class 11";
                    String sen2= "we";
                    boolean b=str1.startsWith(str2);
                    if(b)
                    System.out.println(sen1+ " begins with " + sen2);
                    else
                    System.out.println(sen1+ " does not begin with " + sen2);
                 The output of the preceding program is as follows:
                 We are studying in class 11 begins with we

                 The trim() Function
                 This function is used to delete the leading and trailing spaces from the string of the current object. If there is no space,
                 then there will be no change. Also, it does not affect the spaces between the words. This function  returns a value of
                 the String type. The syntax of the trim() method is:

                    String <variable> = String_datatype_Variable.trim();
                 Let us see the below example:
                    String sen1= "  Computer Science             ";
                    System.out.println(sen1.trim());
