To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of packages and inheritance in Java.
In the given code, there are two packages: inheritance
and inheritance1
. The TestInheritance4
class is defined in the inheritance
package, and the TestInheritance_4
class is defined in the inheritance1
package.
The TestInheritance_4
class extends the TestInheritance4
class, which means it inherits the name
field from the parent class.
Now, let's go through the options:
Option A) name = JAVA - This option is incorrect. Since the TestInheritance_4
class extends the TestInheritance4
class, it can access the name
field. However, the name
field is not explicitly assigned any value in the TestInheritance_4
class, so its default value of null
will be printed.
Option B) Compiler Error - This option is correct. The code will give a compiler error because the import statement in the TestInheritance_4
class is incomplete. It is missing the required package name. The correct import statement should be import inheritance.TestInheritance4;
.
Option C) Exception - This option is incorrect. There is no exception thrown in the code.
Option D) name = null - This option is incorrect. Although the name
field is not explicitly assigned any value in the TestInheritance_4
class, the default value of null
is not printed. The code will give a compiler error before reaching the point where printName()
is called.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) Compiler Error.
