To understand the given code and determine the output, let's analyze each part of it step by step:
- The code starts with the definition of a class
Building
.
- The
Building
class has two constructors: Building()
and Building(String name)
.
- The first constructor
Building()
prints "b ".
- The second constructor
Building(String name)
calls the first constructor using this()
, and then prints "bn " followed by the value of name
.
- Next, there is a class
House
that extends the Building
class.
- The
House
class has two constructors: House()
and House(String name)
.
- The first constructor
House()
prints "h ".
- The second constructor
House(String name)
calls the first constructor using this()
, and then prints "hn " followed by the value of name
.
- Finally, the
main
method of the House
class creates a new House
object with the value "x " as the argument.
Now, let's go through the options to determine the correct output:
Option A) h hn x
This option is incorrect. It suggests that the output will be "h hn x". However, it doesn't consider the constructors of the Building
class.
Option B) hn x h
This option is incorrect. It suggests that the output will be "hn x h". However, it doesn't consider the constructors of the Building
class.
Option C) b h hn x
This option is correct. As per the given code, the output will be "b h hn x". The House
constructor calls the Building
constructor using this()
, which in turn calls the Building()
constructor, printing "b ". Then, the House
constructor prints "h ", followed by "hn " and the value "x ".
Option D) b hn x h
This option is incorrect. It suggests that the output will be "b hn x h". However, it doesn't consider the order of constructor calls.
Option E) bn x h hn x
This option is incorrect. It suggests that the output will be "bn x h hn x". However, it doesn't consider the order of constructor calls.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) b h hn x.
