Assuming the parameter s is at least two characters long, when will the compareSubs method return the exact value of the parameter s?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the behavior of a Java method that compares substrings. It requires understanding of substring comparisons in the context of the provided code snippet and the conditions under which the method will return the original string.
Answer
When the characters in parameter s are all in ascending sequence from the first position to the last position.
The final answer is when the characters in parameter s are all in ascending sequence from the first position to the last position.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is when the characters in parameter s are all in ascending sequence from the first position to the last position.
More Information
The method iterates from the end to the start of the string, returning a value only if it finds a descending sequence. If no descending sequence is found, the entire string is returned.
Tips
A common mistake is not realizing the loop checks for a descending sequence, so the default return occurs only when the string is fully ascending.
