According to ex.
Why is the final(end) index 5 or does it not give an error in 5? While the string is of 5 characters.
0=H 1=e 2=l 3=l 4=o 5=? In copePointCount() method
While the 5th index returns an error upon printing .In charAt() method

Answer 1

The syntax of codePointCount() is

codePointCount(int beginIndex, int endIndex)

Here if endIndex will be greater than size of String then it will give arrayIndexOfBoundException. But in your case endIndex is 5 which is equal to length of String that's why not giving exception. When you change to 6 then it gives exception.

Answer 2

ABHISHEK PATEL Because charAt depends on index which is start from 0. So in your case the last index is 4 but you are accessing 5th index.

The index number starts from 0 and goes to n-1, where n is length of the string. It returns StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if given index number is greater than or equal to this string length or a negative number.
