  1.     class String_demo 
  2.     {
  3.         public static void main(String args[])
  4.         {
  5.             char chars[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
  6.             String s = new String(chars);
  7.             System.out.println(s);
  8.         }
  9.    }

a) a
b) b
c) c
d) abc
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: String(chars) is a constructor of class string, it initializes string s with the values stored in character array chars, therefore s contains “abc”.
output:

advertisement
$ javac String_demo.java
$ java String_demo 
abc

8. What will be the output of the following Java program?

  1.     class String_demo 
  2.     {
  3.         public static void main(String args[])
  4.         {
  5.             int ascii[] = { 65, 66, 67, 68};
  6.             String s = new String(ascii, 1, 3);
  7.             System.out.println(s);
  8.         }
  9.    }

a) ABC
b) BCD
c) CDA
d) ABCD
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: ascii is an array of integers which contains ascii codes of Characters A, B, C, D. String(ascii, 1, 3) is an constructor which initializes s with Characters corresponding to ascii codes stored in array ascii, starting position being given by 1 & ending position by 3, Thus s stores BCD.
output:

$ javac String_demo.java
$ java String_demo 
BCD

9. What will be the output of the following Java program?

  1.     class String_demo 
  2.     {
  3.         public static void main(String args[])
  4.         {
  5.             char chars[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
  6.             String s = new String(chars);
  7.             String s1 = "abcd";
  8.             int len1 = s1.length();
  9.             int len2 = s.length();
  10.             System.out.println(len1 + " " + len2);
  11.         }
  12.    }

a) 3 0
b) 0 3
c) 3 4
d) 4 3
