All the words that start with a can be found in a string by using regular expressions in Java. The regular expressions are character sequences that can be used to match other strings using a specific pattern syntax. The regular expressions are available in the java.util.regex package which has many ... Read More

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

The Matcher can be reset using the java.util.regex.Matcher.reset() method. This method returns the reset Matcher.A program that demonstrates the method Matcher.reset() in Java regular expressions is given as follows:Example Live Demoimport java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class MainClass {    public static void main(String args[]) {       Pattern p = ...

A method that accepts a variable number of Object arguments in Java is a form of variable length arguments(Varargs). These can have zero or multiple Object type arguments.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows:Example Live Demopublic class Demo {    public static void Varargs(Object... args) {       ...

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() { ... Read More
