Q8) Find the output of the given program?

class Test{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int out=9;
      System.out.print(out+" ");
      println();
   }
   public static void println(){
      System.out.println("Hi");
   }
}

a) 9
b) 9 Hi
c) Compile-time error
d) Exception

View Answer

Answer:- b) 9 Hi

In this program, we defined a variable “out” having integer value 9. We also used a user-defined method println(). Here out and println() are in the current program but the out and println() of System.out.println present in the class System and the System class is present in the java\lang folder. So, JVM treated System.out.println() as java.lang.System.out.println() and we don’t get any error.

Q9) Find the output of the given program?

class Test{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String String = "String";
      System.out.println(String);
   }
}

a) String
b) Compile-time error
c) Exception
d) None of these

View Answer

Answer:- a) String

We created a variable “String” of class String having value “String” and it is valid.

Q10) Find the output of the given program?

class Test{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String System="Variable";
      System.out.println(System);
   }
}

a) Variable
b) Compile-time error
c) Exception
d) None of these

View Answer

Answer:- b) Compile-time error

In this program, At compilation we get an error.

System is a pre-defined class and where ever we are calling System.out.println() then System class is used in the program. To display values to the console it should not be distrubed until we are not using another class to display the data.

In our program, the compiler and JVM treats System as a variable, not as a class. In, the 4th line Compiler didn’t found any out variable inside the System variable. So, it gives an error. Solution:- in the 4th line use java.lang.System.out.println(System);
