Null Pointer Exception in Java Application – Need Fixing

[YashSmith]

My Java application crashes with a NullPointerException when trying to access an object property. Here's the problematic code:

    public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String text = null;
            System.out.println(text.length()); // NullPointerException here
        }
    }

How can I properly handle this scenario?
