  // you can also use equals() to see if two Strings are the same:

  // the compareTo() operator also allows you to compare Strings
  // it evaluates on the first character that's different.

  // alphanumeric order, then compareTo() is greater than 0:

  }

  delay(10000);  // because the next part is a loop:

  // compareTo() is handy when you've got Strings with numbers in them too:

  while (true) {
    stringOne = "Sensor: ";
    stringTwo = "Sensor: ";

    stringOne += analogRead(A0);
    stringTwo += analogRead(A5);
