To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) true true - This option is correct because it means that both the references f1
and f3
are pointing to the same object, and the value of x
in that object is 6. So, (f1 == f3)
is true because they refer to the same object and (f1.x == f3.x)
is also true because the value of x
is the same.
Option B) true false - This option is incorrect because (f1.x == f3.x)
should be true since x
is updated to 6 in the FizzSwitch
method.
Option C) false true - This option is incorrect because (f1 == f3)
should be true since f1
and f3
are referring to the same object.
Option D) false false - This option is incorrect because (f1 == f3)
should be true since f1
and f3
are referring to the same object, and (f1.x == f3.x)
should be true since x
is updated to 6 in the FizzSwitch
method.
Option E) Compilation fails - This option is incorrect because there are no compilation errors in the given code.
Option F) An exception is thrown at runtime - This option is incorrect because there are no exceptions thrown in the given code.
The correct answer is A. This option is correct because (f1 == f3)
is true because they refer to the same object and (f1.x == f3.x)
is also true because the value of x
is the same.
