String burns = "My love is like a red, red rose."; . . . . . . if ( burns.toLower().startsWith( " MY LOVE".trim().toLower() ) ) System.out.println( "Both start with the same letters." ); else System.out.println( "Prefix fails." );
Both start with the same letters.
" MY LOVE".trim().toLowerCase()
creates the temporary string "my love" .
"burns.toLower()
creates the temporary string "my love is like a red, red rose."
Both strings start out the same.
That was a complicated question. I hope you rose to the occasion. If you got burned, review the example. You may wish to review the following.
