The method 'compareTo(Object o)' is specified in java.lang.Comparable, which
String implements.
'compareTo(Object o)' returns an int - It is used when you want to sort a
bunch of Comparable objects
(see the API docs...).
'equals(Object o)' returns a boolean - In this case it returns true if the 2
Strings are the same length and
contain the same characters (same case) in the same order.
'compareTo(Object o)' is used in the Collections framework by various
sorting algorithms.
