Java OCA OCP Practice Question 723

Question

What is the output of the following class? 

1:  package mypkg; 
2:  public class Main { 
3:     public static void main(String[] args) { 
4:        String builder = "54321"; 
5:        builder = builder.substring(4); 
6:        System.out.println(builder.charAt(2)); 
7:     } 
8:  }
  • A. 2
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. None of the above


D.

Note

Line 4 creates a String of length 5.

Since String is immutable, line 5 creates a new String with the value 1 and assigns it to builder.

Remember that indexes in Java begin with 0, so the substring() method is taking the values from the fifth element through the end.

Since the first element is the last element, there's only one character in there.

Then line 6 tries to retrieve the second indexed element.

Since there is only one element, this gives a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, and Option D is correct.
