String s=new String("Bicycle");
int iBegin=1;
char iEnd=3;
System.out.println(s.substring(iBegin,iEnd));
1) Bic
2) ic
3) icy
4) error: no method matching substring(int,char)
The answer is (4). Does the char value always get converted to int, even in the case of substring function?

Hi geeta, the answer is 2 and not 4 as you pointed out. The 'char' datatype is implicitly casted to 'int' since 16-bit fits perfectly in 32-bit.
The signatures for the substring method are:
1) substring (int beginIndex)
2) substring (int beginIndex, int endIndex)
Hope this helps.

- Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. - What truth? - That there is no spoon!!!
