Question

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {

String a = "hello and bye";
if (a.contains ("bye")){
a.replace ("bye" , "c Ya later");
}
System.out.println(a);

}

}

Answer 1

You need to store a.replace in any Variable so that you can print it.
String a is still "hello and bye".
a.replace don't changes value of a it just creates a new String.Which needed to be strored in some variable.So that it can be printed
