In a computer program where the characters are exactly as shown, which word would be listed first and why?

word$1=$ "kangaroo" word$2=$ "Teddy"

Multiple choice question.

Teddy would be first because uppercase letters have smaller ASCII codes than lowercase.

kangaroo would be first because the computer would compare word$1$ and word$2$ and $1$ comes before $2.$

Teddy would be first because it is a shorter string than kangaroo.

kangaroo would be first because $"$k$"$ comes before $"$T$"$ in the alphabet.
