Khadar , i tried this code . it gives that exception

for the foll reason : 
 when u give a CLA(command line argument) , it will be inserted in the index 0 of the array and then will proceed to 1 ,2 ....

so as per the question , "12345" will be at s[0] . and length of that aray will be 1when u try to access s[1] , we are trying for 2nd element which is unavailable..... 


Hope this answers u  :-)

hi there,
                the answer for this question of yours will be option (d) because you have not entered any input after 12345 which is only stored in s[0] corresponding to it's string equivalent but as far as s[2] and s[3] are concerned then you have not submitted any input so it will lead to runtime error. supply with inputs after giving space after every input 3 times  and hit enter and you will get the result.byeeee

The output is V. compilation error..
because in the command line argument (java A 12345)  they have given 12345 as of index of s[0], but they trying to print the s[1]+s[2]+s[3]..

The answer is (v). Everything that is written on the command prompt as command line argument is a String. So, "12345" is a string and that too s[0]. So, if we try to access s[1...n], we are bound to get a compile time exception "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" for sure.

The error will be
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
        at A.main(A.java:5)

No any answer is right here. There is run time error  "ArryIndexOutOfBoundsException" will occurs because 12345 is a single String and JVM cant find 2nd 3rd and 4th String.If we input 1 2 3 4 5 then it will give 234.

answer is compilation error because when u write a program to accept a values from command line arguments on that time we pass three command line arguments above program we use three command line arguments but we pass only one argument value that is s[1]

we give this like java 12 34 5
that time only the answer is 12345

but we give java 12345 means what we run the program at the we pass the command line arguments but we pass only one argument that is 12345 means that value is stored in array index o s[0].

the answer is runtime error. because the string array stores the command line argument in the form of strings,it receives 12345 as string and stores in s[0]. so i gives runtime error.

It is pretty simple.

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException will occure. Those who are saying 234,12345 misunderstood the working of console input(compile time input). Input is seperated by a delimiter then it will be going in next index of string other wise not.

The arguments that are passed to the main are stored in array( the name of the array doesnt matter it can be argh,x,a ,args anything.., lets not get lost) so according to your piece of code we can deduce the following,
args[0]=12345
but there is nothing in args[2].., i.e it hasnt been initialized further, so the jvm will raise an array index out of bounds exception meaning which you are trying to access an element from the array which hasnt been initialized with a value.

Code
  1. your code will work with the following options :

    2. 

  2. :> java a 1 2 3 4 5

    3. 

  3. // if U include spaces and the output will be: "234"

Exception will be come when using class:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 , because 12345 input comes at s[0] places and when we are getting s[1] it come java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: at postion 1.

Code
  1. java A  1 2 3 4 5 and out put will be 234

ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception :
indexing starts from 0, and Since only 3 arguments are passed from the CLA
Java will fail to find the 4th argument when trying to search for s[3] and hence it will result in a compilation error
