Question

Options

• AMarrown String out of limits JessOran
• BMarrown String out of limits
• CMarrown String out of limits
• DMarrown NanRed JesOran

• A
  84% (31)
• B
  11% (4)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the for-each loop processes all three names, and the outcome depends on each string's length relative to the substring(6, 10) call, which requires the string to have at least 10 characters.

• "Mary Brown" (10 chars): both substring(0,3) → "Mar" and substring(6,10) → "rown" succeed → prints "Marrown"
• "Nancy Red" (9 chars): substring(6,10) attempts to read index 9, which doesn't exist → StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is caught → prints "String out of limits"
• "Jessy Orange" (12 chars): both substrings succeed → prints the concatenated result (e.g., "JessOran")

B and C are wrong because they only show 2 lines of output - the loop runs all 3 iterations, so 3 lines must always be printed (two valid results + one caught exception). D is wrong because it shows all three names succeeding, but "Nancy Red" is only 9 characters and cannot satisfy substring(6, 10) - an exception is unavoidable.

Memory tip: For substring(start, end), the string must have length >= end. Count the characters in each string and compare to the end index - if the string falls short, a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException fires.
