Hi all

I think that the correct answer for this question is wrong. If I put this code into a class Test in Test.java and compile it, I only get a compilation error because of //1. Only after I correct //1 I get another compilation error for //3. So yes, both //1 and //3 are wrong and will eventually lead to a compilation error, but if the code is compiled as it is written in the question there will be only one error.

What are your thoughts on this?

For the code to get compiled, two errors need to be fixed. Whether you compile it once or more than once is immaterial. In the real exam as well you should spot all the errors in this kind of questions.

HTH,
Paul.

Could you explain while the line 3 does not compile?

As mentioned in the explanation:

So 1_000_000 and 1000000 are actually same and you cannot have two case blocks with the same value. Therefore, the second case at //3 is invalid.

The Question was not "Mention all lines that will fail to compile." it is "What will the following code print?" therefore you can only get one compilation error and not two.

I agree with other folks, the answers are wrong, The correct answer should be //1. While both of them give the compilation error you need to get rid of one to get the another one. Question should be stated differently in order to pick ans //3 also

Updated the problem statement to: Identify correct statement(s) about the following code:

thank you for your feedback!

I downloaded the last version and this question is not updated.

My mistake. I updated in 808 and didn't propagate the change in 803. Please download it again now. It should be updated now.

Sorry about that.
Paul.

I can confirm that the question is updated and makes sense as it is now. Thanks for the valuable discussion.
