Flow Control
20.
What will be the output of the program? 
int i = 0, j = 5; 
tp: for (;;) 
    {
        i++;  
        for (;;) 
        {
            if(i > --j) 
            {
                break tp; 
            } 
        } 
        System.out.println("i =" + i + ", j = " + j);
i = 1, j = 0
i = 1, j = 4
i = 3, j = 4
Compilation fails.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

If you examine the code carefully you will notice a missing curly bracket at the end of the code, this would cause the code to fail.

Well, it would be better to ask the output without any missing curly brackets.

Then answer would be i = 0, j = 0, I guess.

There is no break; in the second eternity loop, which would make the System. Out. Println an unreachable statement.

There is no main method which is to be noticed.

If curly brackets would have been there in corrrect pos then answer would be i= 1 and j=0.

No, I run that program it give error unreachable statement at

System.out.println("i =" + i + ", j = " + j);

If compilation fails for the lack of the ending curly brace, compilation would fail for the lack of a main function. These questions imply the code snippets are just that - snippets - and so it would be perfectly reasonable to assume there is a curly brace later on in the code but not included in the snippet. That doesn't change the fact that the print statement is unreachable though.

What is tp: kindly explain me ?

TP represents as label for the loop.

If curly braces of for ended before println then it print i=1 and j=0.

How can j = 0, because when break up run it will print the sop statement.

i.e. i = 1, j = 4.
