one two

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

1.     class output 

2.     {

3.         public static void main(String args[])

4.         {

8.         }

9.     }

a) hello
b) helwo
c) hewlo
d) hewwo
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: replace() method replaces all occurrences of one character in invoking string with another character. s1.replace(‘l’,’w’) replaces every occurrence of ‘l’ in hello by ‘w’, giving hewwo.
Output:

$ javac output.java
$ java output
hewwo

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

1.     class output 

2.     {

3.         public static void main(String args[])

4.         {

5.            String s1 = "Hello World";

6.            String s2 = s1.substring(0 , 4);
