Given the code fragment: class MySearch { public static void main(String[] args) { if (XXXX) { System.out.println("Found"); } } } Which code fragment, replace with XXXX, enables the code to print Foun

The correct answer is A. url.indexOf("com") != -1. To print 'Found' when the substring 'com' is present in the url string, the if condition must evaluate to true whenever 'com' is found.

Given the code fragment:

class MySearch { public static void main(String[] args) { if (XXXX) { System.out.println("Found"); } } } Which code fragment, replace with XXXX, enables the code to print Found?

Options

  • Aurl.indexOf("com") != -1
  • Burl.indexOf("com")
  • Curl.indexOf("com") == 19
  • Durl.indexOf("com") != false

Why each option

To print 'Found' when the substring 'com' is present in the `url` string, the `if` condition must evaluate to true whenever 'com' is found.

Aurl.indexOf("com") != -1Correct

The `indexOf("com")` method returns the starting index of the substring "com" or -1 if not found. Comparing this result with `!= -1` yields a boolean true if "com" is present at any index, correctly fulfilling the condition for printing "Found".

Burl.indexOf("com")

In Java, an integer value returned by `indexOf()` cannot be implicitly converted to a boolean for an `if` statement; this would result in a compile-time type mismatch error.

Curl.indexOf("com") == 19

This condition specifically checks if "com" is found exactly at index 19. If "com" exists at a different index or not at all, the condition would be false, failing to print "Found" in those valid "found" scenarios.

Durl.indexOf("com") != false

This statement attempts to compare an integer (the result of `indexOf()`) with a boolean literal (`false`), which is a type mismatch and will cause a compile-time error in Java.
