Given that s is a String, what does the following loop do? for (int j = s.length( ); j > 0; j--) System.out.print(s.charAt(j-1)); 1) it prints s out backwards 2) it prints s out forwards 3) it prints s out backwards after skipping the last character 4) it prints s out backwards but does not print the 0th character 5) it yields a run-time error because there is no character at s.charAt(j-1) for j = 0

it prints s out backwards
