Question

Consider the following statement:

System.out.printIn("1 big bad wolf/t8 the 3 little pigs/n4 dinner/n2night");
This statement will output how many line(s) of text
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

Answer 1

The given statement is supposed to output text on four different lines due to the presence of escape sequences for new lines '\\', so the correct answer is D) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement System.out.printIn("1 big bad wolf/t8 the 3 little pigs/n4 dinner/n2night") contains typographical errors and should likely be System.out.println("1 big bad wolf\t8 the 3 little pigs\\4 dinner\\2night"). However, this error seems to be irrelevant to the question being asked. Assuming that the escape sequences are typed correctly ('\t' for tab and '\\' for new line), this would produce text on four lines. The '\\' character represents a new line, so each instance will begin a new line of text. Consequently, the correct answer to the question is:

D) 4
