Thanks @Chris Long I found out the problem and rectified it. In the meantime can you please suggest what can I do if I have to compare to strings of different length, in my case s1 and s2, should I create any char array or not?

You do not need to create a char array. s1.length is 4.You do not need a char array to count the length of a string.

You don't ever need to create the arrays, because you can use the charAt method to access a String's characters, but then I assume that this is some sort of homework assignment, because otherwise you'd be using String.equals() instead of writing your own. If you're just testing for equality / non-equality, your initial comparison of the String's lengths is valid, and you only need to compare the characters of strings that are equal lengths. If you want to do a more complex comparison (deciding which sorts first alphabetically, for example), then you need to specify that.
