import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
class dc
{
public static void main(String ae[])throws IOException
{
try
{
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the From Date [Format DD-MM-YYYY]");
String fromDate=br.readLine();
System.out.println("Enter the To Date [Format DD-MM-YYYY]");
String toDate=br.readLine();
SimpleDateFormat form=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date sysdate=new Date();
System.out.println("\n========================================================");
System.out.println("\t\tDATE COMPARISON ");
System.out.println("========================================================");
System.out.println("\tFROM DATE :- "+form.format(form.parse(fromDate)));
System.out.println("\tTO DATE :- "+form.format(form.parse(toDate)));
System.out.println("======================================================== ");

if(form.parse(fromDate).before(form.parse(toDate)))
{
System.out.println("\tFROM DATE IS LESS THEN TO DATE ");
}
else
{
System.out.println("\tFROM DATE IS GREATER THEN TO DATE ");
}
System.out.println("======================================================== ");
}
catch(ParseException pe)
{

}
}
}
