Below programs illustrate the use of Char.IsHighSurrogate(String, Int32) Method: Example 1: 

Output:
String '1234' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 3
String 'Tsunami' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 3
String 'psyc0lo' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 4
String 'að??z' contains High Surrogate value at index 1

Example 2: For ArgumentNullException 

Output:
String '1234' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 3
String 'Tsunami' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 3
String 'psyc0lo' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 4

s is null
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentNullException

Example 3: For ArgumentOutOfRangeException 

Output:
String '1234' does't contain any HighSurrogate value at index 3
