for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++ i)
{
int c;
while((c = obj1.read()) != -1)
{
if(i == 0)
{
System.out.print(Character.toUpperCase((char)c));
obj2.write(1);
}
}
System.out.print(obj2);
}
}
}

9. What will be the output of the following Java program?

import java.io.*;
class Chararrayinput
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String obj = "abcdef";
int length = obj.length();
char c[] = new char[length];
obj.getChars(0, length, c, 0);
CharArrayReader input1 = new CharArrayReader(c);
CharArrayReader input2 = new CharArrayReader(c, 0, 3);
int i;
try
{
while((i = input2.read()) != -1)
{
System.out.print((char)i);
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
a) abc
b) abcd
c) abcde
d) abcdef
View Answer

10. What will be the output of the following Java program?

import java.io.*;
class Chararrayinput
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String obj = "abcdefgh";
int length = obj.length();
char c[] = new char[length];
obj.getChars(0, length, c, 0);
CharArrayReader input1 = new CharArrayReader(c);
CharArrayReader input2 = new CharArrayReader(c, 1, 4);
int i;
int j;
try
{
while((i = input1.read()) == (j = input2.read()))
{
System.out.print((char)i);
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
a) abc
b) abcd
c) abcde
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: No output is printed. CharArrayReader object input1 contains string
�abcdefgh� whereas object input2 contains string �bcde�, when
while((i=input1.read())==(j=input2.read())) is executed the starting character of
each object is compared since they are unequal control comes out of loop and
nothing is printed on the screen.
Output:
$ javac Chararrayinput.java
$ java Chararrayinput
