Answer
Exam answer
(d) 13.
Explanation
compareTo() compares character by character and stops at the first difference. Here the very first characters differ: 't' is 116 and 'g' is 103, so the method returns 116 - 103 = 13. Since the value is positive, "talent" comes after "genius" alphabetically. Only if one string were a prefix of the other would it return the difference in lengths instead.
