Following code will result in: float a = 9/0;

  1. Compilation error: Divisions must be in a try block

  2. Compilation error: DivideByZeroException

  3. Runtime Exception

  4. No Error: a is NaN


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Compilation error: Divisions must be in a try block - This option is incorrect. Divisions do not need to be in a try block. A try block is only necessary when there is a possibility of an exception being thrown.

Option B) Compilation error: DivideByZeroException - This option is incorrect. Although dividing by zero is an error, the code will compile without any issues.

Option C) Runtime Exception - This option is incorrect. The code will not throw a runtime exception.

Option D) No Error: a is NaN - This option is correct. When dividing any number by zero in Java, the result is not a number (NaN).

The correct answer is D. No Error: a is NaN. This option is correct because dividing by zero in Java results in NaN (Not a Number) without any compilation or runtime errors.
