What will be the output of the program?

import java.util.*;

public class Fragment64
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        List<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();
        l.add(null);
        l.add(null);
        System.out.println(
            l.size() + " " + l.contains(null) + " " + l.indexOf(null));
    }
}

  • A.The program prints 1 true 0
  • B.The program prints 2 false -1
  • C.The program prints 0 false -1
  • D.The program prints 2 true 0

Answer: D

An ArrayList accepts nulls like any other element and does not collapse them, so two adds give a size of 2. contains and indexOf both handle a null argument, reporting that it is present at position 0. A TreeSet or a Hashtable would have refused the null outright.
