[tripline]

public class test
{public static void main (String[] args)
{
String word = "rotatemeplease";
String LastFour = "";
LastFour =word.substring(9, 4);
System.out.println(LastFour);

@tripline: Look at the String api to see how to use substring with two parameters correctly. The second parameter is not the length of the substring but the second index.

Also, you'll want to use code tags when posting code to this forum so your code will look like this:

public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String word = "rotatemeplease";
      String LastFour = word.substring(word.length() - 4, word.length());
      System.out.println(LastFour);
   }
}

Not like this:

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String word = "rotatemeplease";
String LastFour = word.substring(word.length() - 4, word.length());
System.out.println(LastFour);
}
}

@skaterboy: Please look at the API too so you will now know how to use substring with two parameters correctly and can give good advice for a similar question. Also please don't encourage the use of "magic" numbers.
