Enter string2: abc
Strings are not equal
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a method Main(). In the Main() method, we created two string variables str1 and str2.

Console.Write("Enter string1: ")
str1 = Console.ReadLine()

Console.Write("Enter string2: ")
str2 = Console.ReadLine()

In the above code, we read two strings str1 and str2

If str1 = str2 Then
    Console.WriteLine("Strings are equal")
Else
    Console.WriteLine("Strings are not equal")
End If

In the above code we use if statements to compare two strings, and then we printed appropriate message on the console screen.
