Answer
city1 appears before city2 in an alphabetical list.
Reason — The method compareTo(String s) in Java compares two strings lexicographically. It returns:
- A negative value if the calling string (
city1) comes before the argument string (city2) in alphabetical order. - 0 if the two strings are equal.
- A positive value if the calling string (
city1) comes after the argument string (city2) in alphabetical order.
If the result is less than zero, it indicates that city1 appears before city2 lexicographically (alphabetically).
