QUESTION 1:
What will the given program print?
public class createStringDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
char[] aSet = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', ' ', ' ', '5', '#'};
System.out.println(aSet);
}
}
a. The program will throw a runtime exception because char[] cannot be printed directly using
System.out.println().
b. The program will print each character on a new line.

QUESTION 3:
Consider the following Java program
public class createStringDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String text = "DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS USING JAVA";
System.out.print(text);
}
}
Which of the following is NOT true about the output or behavior of the program?
a. The program will print the text exactly as it is: DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS
USING JAVA.
b. The System.out.print() method prints the string without adding a newline character at the end.
c. The string text is immutable, and any further operations on text would result in the creation of a
new string.
d. Changing System.out.print(text) to System.out.println(text) will cause the program to throw a
NullPointerException.
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:
Option (a) is true: The program prints the string exactly as it is.
Option (b) is true: System.out.print() does not add a newline character after printing.
Option (c) is true: Strings are immutable in Java.

Option (d) is false: Changing System.out.print() to System.out.println() will not cause a
NullPointerException. Both print and println work the same way, except println adds a newline after the
string. There is no NullPointerException thrown here.

QUESTION 4:
What will be the output of code snippet given below?
public class StringCompareCaseDemo{
public static void main(String args[])
{
String text1 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH JAVA";
String text2 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH C++";
String text3 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH JAVA";
String text4 = "data structure with c++";
String text5 = "data structure with java";
int output1 = text1.compareToIgnoreCase(text2);
int output2 = text1.compareToIgnoreCase(text3);
int output3 = text1.compareToIgnoreCase(text4);
int output4 = text1.compareToIgnoreCase(text5);
System.out.println(output1,output2,output3,output4); }}

Which of the following function definitions is/are Correct?
a. String trim() Returns the copy of the String, by removing whitespaces at both ends. It
does not affect whitespaces in the middle.
b. String toUpperCase() Converts all the characters in the String to upper case.
c. String replace(char old, char new) Returns new string by replacing all occurrences of old
with new.
d. String concat(String s) Concatenates specified string to the front of this string
Correct Answer: a,b,c
Detailed Solution:
Option ‘d’ is wrong as it says “String concat(String s) Concatenates specified string to the front of this
string” but the actual statement should be “String concat(String s) Concatenates specified string to the
end of this string”

public static void main(String args[]){
String text1 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH JAVA";
String text2 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH C++";
String text3 = "DATA STRUCTURE WITH JAVA";
String text4 = "data structure with c++";
String text5 = "data structure with java";
Boolean output1 = text1.equalsIgnoreCase(text2);
Boolean output2 = text1.equals(text3);
int output3 = text1.compareTo(text4);
int output4 = text1.compareToIgnoreCase(text5);
System.out.println(output1);
System.out.println(output2);
System.out.println(output3);
System.out.println(output4);

d.
Compilation Error due to the expression `strOb1 + " and " + strOb2;`
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
The code uses StringBuffer for strOb1 and strOb2. Concatenating strOb1 + " and " + strOb2 converts
them to String type, resulting in "First String and Second String".
Each System.out.println() prints the values accordingly.
The operations on text manipulate the string buffer, appending, inserting, replacing, deleting, and
reversing characters.

QUESTION 8:
What will be the output of the code snippet given below-
class StringBufferDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("Hello");
System.out.println("buffer = " + sb);
System.out.println("length = " + sb.length());
System.out.println("capacity = " + sb.capacity());
sb.setCharAt(1, 'i');
sb.setLength(2);
System.out.println("buffer after = " + sb);
System.out.println("charAt(1) after = " + sb.charAt(1));
}
