Resolving Paths in Java

C.

The given code fragment creates two Path objects, path1 and path2, using the Paths.get() method. Then, the resolve() method is called on both path1 and path2 to create two new Path objects, res1 and res2, respectively. Finally, the toString() method is called on both res1 and res2 to print their string representations to the console.

Let's look at each line of code and see what it does:

javaCopy code
Path path1 = Paths.get("/app/./sys/"); 

This creates a Path object path1 representing the directory /app/./sys/. The . in /app/./sys/ is a relative directory reference that means "the current directory", but it has no effect on the resulting Path object.

javaCopy code
Path res1 = path1.resolve("log"); 

This resolves the relative Path "log" against path1, resulting in a new Path object res1 representing the directory /app/./sys/log. Again, the . in /app/./sys/ has no effect on the resulting Path object.

javaCopy code
Path path2 = Paths.get("/server/exe/"); 

This creates a Path object path2 representing the directory /server/exe/.

javaCopy code
Path res1 = path1.resolve("/readme/"); 

This resolves the absolute Path "/readme/" against path1, resulting in a new Path object res1 representing the directory /readme/. The leading / in "/readme/" makes it an absolute path, which means it is resolved starting from the root directory.

javaCopy code
System.out.println(res1); System.out.println(res2); 

This prints the string representations of res1 and res2 to the console. Therefore, the output of the code will be:

javascriptCopy code
/readme/ /server/exe/readme 

Therefore, the correct answer is option D: /app/./sys/log /server/exe/readme.
