Download String s1 = "Welcome to Java"

9.1 Suppose that s1, s2, s3, and s4 are four strings, given as follows:
String s1 = "Welcome to Java";
String s2 = s1;
String s3 = new String("Welcome to Java");
String s4 = "Welcome to Java";
What are the results of the following expressions?
(1) s1 == s2
(13) s1.length()
(2) s2 == s3
(14) s1.substring(5)
(3) s1.equals(s2)
(15) s1.substring(5, 11)
(4) s2.equals(s3)
(16) s1.startsWith("Wel")
(5) s1.compareTo(s2)
(17) s1.endsWith("Java")
(6) s2.compareTo(s3)
(18) s1.toLowerCase()
(7) s1 == s4
(19) s1.toUpperCase()
(8) s1.charAt(0)
(20) " Welcome ".trim()
(9) s1.indexOf('j')
(21) s1.replace('o', 'T')
(10) s1.indexOf("to")
(22) s1.replaceAll("o", "T")
(11) s1.lastIndexOf('a')
(23) s1.replaceFirst("o", "T")
(12) s1.lastIndexOf("o", 15)
(24) s1.toCharArray()
To create a string “Welcome to Java”, you may use a statement like this:
String s = "Welcome to Java";
or
String s = new String("Welcome to Java);
Which one is better? Why?
2.
Suppose that s1 and s2 are two strings. Which of the following statements or expressions are
incorrect?
String s = new String("new string");
s1.compareTo(s2);
String s3 = s1 + s2;
int i = s1.length();
String s3 = s1 - s2;
char c = s1(0);
s1 == s2;
char c = s1.charAt(s1.length());
s1 >= s2;
3.
What is the printout of the following code?
String s1 = "Welcome to Java";
String s2 = s1.replace("o", "abc");
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
9.4 Let s1 be " Welcome " and s2 be " welcome ". Write the code for the following
statements:
■ Check whether s1 is equal to s2 and assign the result to a Boolean variable isEqual.
■ Check whether s1 is equal to s2, ignoring case, and assign the result to a Boolean variable isEqual.
■ Compare s1 with s2 and assign the result to an int variable x.
■ Compare s1 with s2, ignoring case, and assign the result to an int variable x.
■ Check whether s1 has prefix "AAA" and assign the result to a Boolean variable b.
■ Check whether s1 has suffix "AAA" and assign the result to a Boolean variable b.
■ Assign the length of s1 to an int variable x.
■ Assign the first character of s1 to a char variable x.
■ Create a new string s3 that combines s1 with s2.
■ Create a substring of s1 starting from index 1.
■ Create a substring of s1 from index 1 to index 4.
■ Create a new string s3 that converts s1 to lowercase.
■ Create a new string s3 that converts s1 to uppercase.
■ Create a new string s3 that trims blank spaces on both ends of s1.
■ Replace all occurrences of character e with E in s1 and assign the new string to s3.
■ Split "Welcome to Java and HTML" into an array tokens delimited by a space.
■ Assign the index of the first occurrence of character e in s1 to an int variable x.
■ Assign the index of the last occurrence of string abc in s1 to an int variable x.
