Checking if two Strings are Equal

You can test if two strings are equal by using a relational expression like:

OneString = AnotherString

Here is an example:

' Password checker
'
PRINT "Enter the password"
INPUT WORD$
IF WORD$ = "SECRET" THEN
  PRINT "permission granted"
ELSE
  PRINT "permission denied"
END IF
'
END

The INPUT statement copies the characters that the user types into WORD$. The relational expression WORD$ = "SECRET" is TRUE if those characters are exactly the characters in SECRET (they must be uppercase letters). Here is a run of the program:

Enter the password
? SECRET
permission granted

QUESTION 12:

Say that the user runs the program and enters:

? secret

What will the program write?
