What happen if we print character '\u0000'

[Ramakrishna Nalla]

class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
new A().show();
System.out.println("This will not print");
}
}
class A{
char c;
void  show(){
System.out.println(c);//default value:'\u0000'
}
}

I know ascii value of 0 is NULL...Please clearly explain me why... java unable to execute statements after this statement

char c=0;
System.out.println(c);//default value:'\u0000'
System.out.println("This will not print");

Thanks

It depends upon your output device. For me it prints:

<nothing visible here>
This will not print

I tested your code with Java 5.0 in the Windows XP Command Prompt, and also in Mac 10.4.1 Terminal. In both cases, I get the same result as Barry posted above. The "null" char prints nothing, but does not cause any problems.

What environment are you running this in? Are you getting an error message?

Thank U Very Much marc, editplus 2.12 is driven me in to mistake...by your suggestion i tested program in XP command it worked normally...By this experiance i known only command prompt is best for testing java programs...especially for SCJP...

Thanks
