        String s3 = "hello";
        if (s1 == s2) {
            System.out.println("s1 and s2 equal");
        } else {
            System.out.println("s1 and s2 not equal");
        }
        if (s1 == s3) {

Answers

Q1

Answer:

s1 and s2 not equal
s1 and s3 equal

Explanation: JVM sets a constant pool in which it stores all the string constants used in the type. If two references are declared with a constant, then both refer to the same constant object. The == operator checks the similarity of objects itself (and not the values in it). Here, the first comparison is between two distinct objects, so we get s1 and s2 not equal. On the other hand, since references to s1 and s3 refer to the same object, we get s1 and s3 equal.

Q2

Answer:

c) This program will print 10 in the console.

Explanation: The valueOf(int) method is a static method in String that returns the String representation of the integer value that is passed as its argument. Since calling a static method does not require dereferencing the reference variable on which it is called, this program does not throw a NullPointerException.

Q3

Answer:

c) 115110

Explanation: The string concatenation operator works as follows: if both the operands are numbers, it performs the addition; otherwise it concats the arguments by calling the toString() method if needed. It evaluates from left to right. Hence, the expression in the program results in the string 115110.

Q4

Answer:

c) This program results in throwing a NullPointerException.

If a null value is passed to a switch statement, it results in a NullPointerException.

Q5

Answer:

b) null NullPointerException

Explanation: Line 2 will print null because println() method has a null check like below.

if (s == null) {
    s = "null";
}

Q6

Answer:

b) true

Explanation: We know that the intern() method will return the String object reference from the string pool since we assign it back to s2 and now both s1 and s2 are having the same reference. It means that s1 and s2 references point to the same object.

Q7

Answer:

a) false

Explanation: It will print false because s2 is not of type String. If you will look at the equals method implementation in the String class, you will find a check using instanceof operator to check if the type of passed object is String? If not, then return false.

Q8

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

When "Hello" is concatenated with " World!", it forms a new string "Hello World!". The length of this string is 12 characters, so the output is 12.

Q9

Answer:
a) Java

Explanation:
The concat() method returns a new string resulting from concatenating the specified string to the original string. However, in this code, the result of concat() is not assigned back to the str variable. Therefore, the original string "Java" remains unchanged, and the output is "Java".

Q10

Answer:

a) 4

Explanation: The indexOf() method returns the index of the first occurrence of a specified substring within a string.

Conclusion

Congratulations on completing our Java String Coding Quiz! These questions tested your understanding of string manipulation operations, such as concatenation, length determination, character retrieval, comparison, substring extraction, and case conversion. By mastering these concepts, you'll be better equipped to work with strings effectively in Java programming.
