substring??

[sonir shah]

Consider the code..
String s = "MINIMUM";
1)System.out.println(s.substring(s.indexOf('I', 3)));
2)System.out.println(s.substring(s.indexOf('I', 4)));
Answer 1) "INI"
Answer 2) "INIM"
Am I right.?

Why don't you write yourself a little test program, compile it, and run it, and then you can see for yourself what the answer is!

Rob,
Actually this question was from jq+ and I was a bit confused because the answer for the first question was "MUM"
A little bit confused.

The first one will return "IMUM" and the second throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
You should write yourslef a test program and run it and verify the results yourself.

s.indexOf('I', 3) means searching 'I' starting from index 3. as the second 'I' is index 3, it will return 3.
s.indexOf('I', 4) will return -1 because there's no 'I' if searching from index 4. (remember index starts from 0).
therefore first one will print IMUM and second one will give a RuntimeException.
