Example: Java String subSequence() Method

The following example shows the usage of java String() method.

public class StringSubSequenceExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String strExample = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
		CharSequence cstr = strExample.subSequence(4, 10);
		System.out.println();
		System.out.println(cstr);
        System.out.println();
	}

}

Output:

quick

Example of Throws: subSequence(int beginIndex, int endIndex) Method

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if beginIndex or endIndex is negative, if endIndex is greater than length(), or if beginIndex is greater than endIndex

Let

CharSequence cstr = strExample.subSequence(-4, 10);

in the above example.

Output:
