I wrote the above code and executed this
input : java regex1 "\d*" "ab34ef"
output: 01234456

input : java regex1 "\d?" "ab34ef"
output: 012334456

I did not understand why the output gives the index 6 when there are elements only from 0-5?

Hey Asha -

I'm going to move this to the intermediate forum. If you're studying for the SCJP, then let us know and we'll move it to that forum instead
