    Why, why??

    Why does the substring method of the String object behave so strangely?

    It takes the starting number and the one next to the ending number for extracting the string. For e.g.

    Code:
    String MyString=new String("honeybee");
    To extract "bee" from this, I have to use:

    Code:
    String YourString = MyString.substring(5, 8);
    Why doesn't the substring behave like the MID/SubString functions in all other programming languages??

    I am not a complete idiot. Some parts are still missing.

    Change is the only constant thing. I have not changed my signature in a long while and now it has started to stink!
