class String1
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		String string = "hi this is alok kumar singh working in honeywell";
		int start=10;
		int end=25;
		char buffer[] = new char[end-start];
		string.getChars(start,end,buffer,0);
		System.out.println(buffer);
	}
}

in line : string.getChars (start,end,buff er,0);.... now in this if i specify 1 in place of 0 then its throwing the error of index out of bound can anyone explain me why so???

The reason is well laid out in the API docs.

Do your (simple) math: that method attempts to get 'end-start' characters and
store it in a buffer somewhere. Your buffer happens to be able to store 'end-start'
characters; guess where the first character must be stored.
