-Subjective Questions
Very Short/Short Answer Questions te
1. Differentiate between charAt() and indexOf().

Ans. charAt() returns the character at the given index whereas indexOf() returns the index of the first occurrence of
the given character.
2. Differentiate between equals() and compareTol).
Ans. equals() checks if two strings are identical or not, whereascompareTolcompares two strings lexicographically
and returns the difference //in the UNICODE values of the first pair of dissimilar characters.

3. Differentiate between length and length().

Ans. length is a property of arrays that gives the number of elements in an array, whereas length() is a string function

that returns the number of characters in a string.
