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 under what circumstances the given method 'compareSubs' will return the exact value of its parameter 's'. The method compares substrings of 's' and returns a modified value based on the comparison results.
Answer
Characters are in ascending sequence.
The compareSubs method will return the exact value of the parameter s
when the characters in s
are all in ascending sequence from the first position to the last position.

are all in ascending sequence from the first position to the last position.
More Information
The method iterates through the string from the end, and compares adjacent characters. If no descending pair is found, the original string is returned.
Tips
A common mistake is not understanding that compareTo
checks if one character is greater than another.
