What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { public static void main (String[] args) { String foo = args[1]; String bar = args[2]; String baz = args[3]; System.out.println("baz = " + baz); /* Line 8 */ } }
And the command line invocation:
> java Test red green blue
Answer : Option D
Explanation :
When running the program you entered 3 arguments "red", "green" and "blue". When dealing with arrays in java you must remember ALL ARRAYS IN JAVA ARE ZERO BASED therefore args[0] becomes "red", args[1] becomes "green" and args[2] becomes "blue".
When the program entcounters line 8 above at runtime it looks for args[3] which has never been created therefore you get an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at runtime.
