Write an application that uses String method region-Matches to compare two stringsinput by the user. The application should input the number of characters to be compared andthe starting index of the comparison. The application should state whether the comparedcharacters are equal. Ignore the case of the characters when performing the comparison.

Explanation:

The following program creates a function called region_Matches that takes in two strings as arguments as well as an int for starting point and an int for amount of characters to compare. Then it compares those characters in each of the words. If they match (ignoring case) then the function outputs True, else it ouputs False. The test cases compare the words "moving" and "loving", the first test case compares the words starting at point 0 which outputs false because m and l are different. Test case 2 ouputs True since it starts at point 1 which is o and o.

class {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       String word1 = "moving";

       String word2 = "loving";

       boolean result = region_Matches(word1, word2, 0, 4);

       boolean result2 = region_Matches(word1, word2, 1, 4);

       System.out.println(result);

       System.out.println(result2);

   }

   public static boolean region_Matches(String word1, String word2, int start, int numberOfChars) {

       boolean same = true;

       for (int x = 0; x < numberOfChars; x++) {

           if (Character.toLowerCase(word1.charAt(start + x)) == Character.toLowerCase(word2.charAt(start + x))) {

               continue;

           } else {

               same = false;

               break;

           }

       }

       return same;

   }

}
