7. What is the output of this program?

```
    class String_demo 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            char chars[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

            String s = new String(chars);

```
            System.out.println(s);
```
```
        }
```
```
   }
```

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:

$ javac String_demo.java
$ java String_demo 
abc

8. What is the output of this program?

```
    class String_demo 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            int ascii[] = { 65, 66, 67, 68};

            String s = new String(ascii, 1, 3);

```
            System.out.println(s);
```
```
        }
```
```
   }
```

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 is the output of this program?

```
    class String_demo 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            char chars[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

            String s = new String(chars);

```
            String s1 = "abcd";
```
```
            int len1 = s1.length();
```
```
            int len2 = s.length();
```

            System.out.println(len1 + " " + len2);

```
        }
```
```
   }
```

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

Answer: d
