To determine the output of the given code, let's go through the code step by step:
- The variable
start
is initialized with the value Integer.MAX_VALUE - 100
, which is the maximum value that an int
variable can hold minus 100.
- The variable
end
is initialized with the value Integer.MAX_VALUE
, which is the maximum value that an int
variable can hold.
- The variable
count
is initialized with the value 0.
- A for loop is used to iterate from
start
to end
, inclusive. Since start
is already set to Integer.MAX_VALUE - 100
, the loop will execute 201 times (from start
to start + 200
).
- In each iteration, the
count
variable is incremented by 1.
- After the loop finishes, the value of
count
is printed.
Now, let's analyze the options:
Option A) 100 - This option implies that the loop will iterate exactly 100 times. However, as mentioned earlier, the loop will iterate 201 times.
Option B) 101 - This option implies that the loop will iterate exactly 101 times. However, as mentioned earlier, the loop will iterate 201 times.
Option C) 102 - This option implies that the loop will iterate exactly 102 times. However, as mentioned earlier, the loop will iterate 201 times.
Option D) None of the above - This option is correct because the loop will iterate 201 times, not any of the given options (A, B, or C).
Therefore, the correct answer is D) None of the above.
