Question

What is printed by the following statement?

System ("Hello,\\world!");
(a) Hello, \\world!
(b) Hello, world!
(c) "Hello, \\world!"
(d) None of the above.

Answer 1

If the code statement was intended to be a print statement, the output would display 'Hello,' on the first line and 'world!' on the second line, due to the newline character. So, the correct answer is (b) Hello, world!.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement appears to be a piece of code, which looks like it could be from a programming language such as Java or C#. Considering that "System" is used to refer to system-level operations and is often followed by an output function like System.out.print or System.out.println in these languages, there seems to be a mistake in the statement. If we assume the intended statement was System.out.println("Hello,\\world!");, the output would be a two-line string: Hello, world!. The newline character (\\) is used to create a new line in the console output. So, the correct answer is (b) Hello, world!, where the string is split across two lines.
