4.
public class While
{
public void loop()
{
int x= 0;
while ( 1 ) /* Line 6 */
{
System.out.print("x plus one is " + (x + 1)); /* Line 8 */
}
}
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Using the integer 1 in the while statement, or any other looping or conditional construct for that matter, will result in a compiler error. This is old C Program syntax, not valid Java.
A, B and C are incorrect because line 1 is valid (Java is case sensitive so While is a valid class name). Line 8 is also valid because an equation may be placed in a String operation as shown.

Because java is case sensitive language that's why there is no error in line 1.

Simple, while loop can have the only condition that will be true or false,
1 means true
0 means false, it accepts in C /C++, not in java
Java accept only true/false values as a condition.

To being a keyword the word must be in small letter. So the use of While will not be use as a keyword.

To being a keyword the word must be start with capital letter. So, the use of While for class name is correct.

1. While is a key word, here all letters are small letter.
2. While, it is not a key word because it starts with Capital letter.
That's why java is a case sensitive programming language.

While is keyword in java and keywords are not allowed for User Defined Class.

Here class name is 'While' and starts with caps 'W' not with 'w'. So we can use While as class name. We should not use while keyword as class name.
Because keywords start with small letters and they are reserved in java. We have used caps 'W' in the given program so it is not matched with java keyword i.e. while.

According to java naming rules keywords are not used for class name but in this Example your used while, in java while is a key word, but your not given the that error by.

Answer is D.
Because while loop accepts boolean but not Integer as an expression. So the error will be in line no.6 only. Remaining code is perfect.
