1.
What will be the output of the program?
public class CommandArgsThree 
{
    public static void main(String [] args) 
    {
        String [][] argCopy = new String[2][2];
        int x;
        argCopy[0] = args;
        x = argCopy[0].length;
        for (int y = 0; y < x; y++) 
        {
            System.out.print(" " + argCopy[0][y]);
        }
    }
}

and the command-line invocation is

> java CommandArgsThree 1 2 3

0 0
1 2
0 0 0
1 2 3
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In argCopy[0] = args;, the reference variable argCopy[0], which was referring to an array with two elements, is reassigned to an array (args) with three elements.

Here argcopy declared within 2 dimensional array.

Here argCopy[0](reference of one dimensional array) is referring args. This means, argCopy[0] is pointing the memory location of args. Thats why it prints the values which are stored in args.

Args is an array declared in main method which will takes the command line arguments and store in an array. That will be stored in argval[0]. So here array will be stored in another element of array so now that element will acts as two dimensional array. That thing we are printing.

Argcopy declared with in two dimensional array but args initialised to argcopy[0]. Is it correct. Please explain.
