java - I'm trying to check if a word is abecedarian using compareTo -

i keep program pretty same. i've used lot of string methods charat, substring , indexof. word said “abecedarian” if letters in word appear in alphabetical order.

import java.util.*;  public class abecedarian{     public static void main( string[] args ){         string word=getword();      }      public static string getword(){         scanner keyboard = new scanner(system.in);         string word;         system.out.print("enter word: ");         word=keyboard.nextline();         return word;     }      public static boolean isabecedarian(string word){ 

you iterate on characters in word , make sure in ascending alphabetical order:

public static boolean isabecedarian (string word) {     int length = word.size();     if (length <= 1) {         return true;     }      word = word.tolowercase(); // in case      char prev;      char curr;      (int = 1; < length; ++i) {         prev = word.charat(i - 1);         curr = word.charat(0);         if (prev > curr) {             return false;         }     }      return true; }
