Answer 1

You can do in this way.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String a = "one";
        String b = "two";

        System.out.println(a);
        System.out.println(b);

        a = a+b;
        b = "";

        System.out.println("*************");
         b = a.substring(0, 3);
         a = a.substring(3, 6);

         System.out.println(a);
         System.out.println(b);

    }
