The reluctant qualifier starts with the shortest string size as possible. If a match is found by the engine, the process continues to find more matches otherwise the engine adds a character to the searched string section and tries again. This continues until a match is obtained or the string ... Read More

The offset value after the last character is matched from the sequence according to the regex is returned by the method java.util.regex.Matcher.end(). This method requires no arguments. If no match occurs or if the match operation fails then the IllegalStateException is thrown.A program that demonstrates the method Matcher.end() Java regular ... Read More

A single action can be performed in multiple ways using the concept of polymorphism. Run-time polymorphism can be performed by method overriding. The overridden method in this is resolved at compile time.A program that demonstrates run-time polymorphism in Java is given as follows:Example Live Democlass Animal {    void sound() { ...

The import statement can be used to import an entire package or sometimes import certain classes and interfaces inside the package. The import statement is written before the class definition and after the package statement(if there is any). Also, the import statement is optional.A program that demonstrates this in Java ...
