Given: 11. String test = "This is a test"; 12. String[] tokens = test.split("\s"); 13. System.out.println(tokens.length); What is the result?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. 4

  5. An Exception thrown at runtime


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each line of code and understand what it does:

Line 11: String test = "This is a test"; - This line declares a string variable named "test" and assigns it the value "This is a test".

Line 12: String[] tokens = test.split("\s"); - This line splits the string "test" into an array of substrings based on the delimiter specified as "\s". However, there is an issue with the delimiter used. "\s" is not a valid regular expression for whitespace in Java. To represent a whitespace character, you should use "\s" instead. Therefore, this line would result in a compilation error.

Line 13: System.out.println(tokens.length); - This line prints the length of the "tokens" array. However, since there was a compilation error in line 12, the code would not compile successfully.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) Compilation fails.
