Answer 12

Listing 3 . File SampProg24.java.
/*File SampProg24.java from module 50 Copyright 1997, R.G.BaldwinWithout viewing the solution that follows, Write a Java application that illustrates the fact that while a Stringobject cannot be modified, the reference variable can be modified to point to a new String object which can have theappearance of modifying the original String object. The output from this program should beDisplay original string values THIS STRING IS NAMED str1This string is named str2 Replace str1 with another stringDisplay new string named str1 THIS STRING IS NAMED str1 This string is named str2Terminating program **********************************************************/class SampProg24{ String str1 = "THIS STRING IS NAMED str1";String str2 = "This string is named str2";public static void main(String[] args){SampProg24 thisObj = new SampProg24(); System.out.println("Display original string values");System.out.println(thisObj.str1); System.out.println(thisObj.str2);System.out.println( "Replace str1 with another string");thisObj.str1 = thisObj.str1 + " " + thisObj.str2; System.out.println("Display new string named str1");System.out.println(thisObj.str1); System.out.println("Terminating program");}//end main() }//end class SampProg24

Back to Question 8

Answer 7

StringBuffer str6 = new StringBuffer("StringBuffer named str6".length());str6.append("StringBuffer named str6");

Back to Question 7

Answer 6

StringBuffer str5 = new StringBuffer();//accept default initial lengthstr5.append( "StringBuffer named str5");//modify length as needed

Back to Question 6

False. A String object can be instantiated using either of the following statements:

String str1 = new String("String named str2");String str2 = "String named str1";

Back to Question 4

Answer 3

True.

Back to Question 3
