C#.NET — What will this program print when it tries to write a[6] (array size 5)? using System; namespace CuriousTabConsoleApplication { class MyProgram { static void Main(string[] args) { int index = 6; int val = 44; int[] a = new int[5]; try { a[index] = val; } catch (IndexOutOfRangeException e) { Console.Write("Index out of bounds "); } Console.Write("Remaining program"); } } }

Introduction / Context:
This problem tests your knowledge of array bounds and specific exception handling with IndexOutOfRangeException in C#. It also checks whether you understand that execution continues after a handled exception.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Array declared as new int[5] has valid indices 0..4.
• Code attempts to write to a[6].
• There is a catch (IndexOutOfRangeException) and a print after the try/catch.

Concept / Approach:
Attempting to access index 6 on a 5-element array throws an IndexOutOfRangeException. The catch block prints a message and execution then proceeds to the statement after the catch, printing the final text. Thus, two messages appear, in order.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Changing index to a legal value (such as 4) would print only "Remaining program" because the catch would not run.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Assignment succeeds: impossible because index 6 is invalid.
• Only one of the messages: ignores continued execution after a handled exception.
• No output: the program prints in both paths.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing length with highest index (highest index is Length - 1). Also, forgetting that a handled exception allows the program to continue.

Final Answer:
It will output: Index out of bounds Remaining program
