To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) 2 - This option is incorrect because the code does not print only "2".
Option B) 3 - This option is incorrect because the code does not print only "3".
Option C) 1 2 - This option is incorrect because the code does not print "1" at any point.
Option D) 2 3 - This option is correct because the code prints "2" and "3" in the output.
Option E) 1 2 3 - This option is incorrect because the code does not print "1" at any point.
Option F) Compilation fails - This option is incorrect because there are no syntax errors in the code provided.
The correct answer is Option D, which is "2 3". This option is correct because the code prints "2" and "3" in the output.
Let's understand the code:
- Line 13 initializes the variable x with the value 5.
- Line 14 initializes the boolean variable b1 with true and b2 with false.
- Line 17 checks if the condition
(x==4) && !b2
is true. Since x
is not equal to 4 and !b2
is true (negation of false), the condition is false.
- Line 20 assigns the value true to
b2
and then checks the condition (b2 = true) && b1
. Since b2
is now true and b1
is also true, the condition is true.
- Line 21 prints "3" in the output.
Therefore, the output of the code will be "2 3".
