String comparison is a fundamental operation in programming. This program showcases how to create a Python program to find the larger of two input strings without relying on built-in functions.
Problem Statement
Write a Python program that takes two strings as input and determines which one is larger in terms of character length, without using any built-in length-related functions.
Python Program to Find the Larger String without Using Built-in Functions
def find_larger_string(str1, str2):
len1 = 0
len2 = 0
for char in str1:
len1 += 1
for char in str2:
len2 += 1
if len1 > len2:
return str1
elif len2 > len1:
return str2
else:
return "Both strings have the same length."
# Input
string1 = input("Enter the first string: ")
string2 = input("Enter the second string: ")
# Finding the larger string
larger_string = find_larger_string(string1, string2)
# Output
print("The larger string is:", larger_string)
