Discussion Forum : Flow Control - Finding the output (Q.No. 6)

What will be the output of the program?
public class Switch2
{
final static short x = 2;
public static int y = 0;
public static void main(String [] args)
{
for (int z=0; z < 3; z++)
{
switch (z)
{
case y: System.out.print("0 "); /* Line 11 */
case x-1: System.out.print("1 "); /* Line 12 */
case x: System.out.print("2 "); /* Line 13 */
}
}
}
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Case expressions must be constant expressions. Since x is marked final, lines 12 and 13 are legal; however y is not a final so the compiler will fail at line 11.

Why is it a compilation error in line number 11 but not in 12 ?
