  1. What will be the output of the program?

     public class CommandArgs 
     {     
        public static void main(String [] args)              
        {       
             String s1 = args[1];         
             String s2 = args[2];         
             String s3 = args[3];         
             String s4 = args[4];         
             System.out.print(" args[2] = " + s2)        
    
       } 
     
     }

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    An exception is thrown because in the code String s4 = args[4];, the array index (the fifth element) is out of bounds. The exception thrown is the cleverly named ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
