Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the Main() function, we created two strings str1 and str2. Here, str1 is an empty string whereas str2 contains some string value. Here, we check the emptiness of both strings one by one and print the appropriate message on the console screen.
