What will be the output of the program?
public class If2 
{
    static boolean b1, b2;
    public static void main(String [] args) 
    {
        int x = 0;
        if ( !b1 ) /* Line 7 */
        {
            if ( !b2 ) /* Line 9 */
            {
                b1 = true;
                x++;
                if ( 5 > 6 ) 
                {
                    x++;
                }
                if ( !b1 ) 
                    x = x + 10;
                else if ( b2 = true ) /* Line 19 */
                    x = x + 100;
                else if ( b1 | b2 ) /* Line 21 */
                    x = x + 1000;
            }
        }
        System.out.println(x);
    }
}

Answer: Option
Explanation:

As instance variables, b1 and b2 are initialized to false. The if tests on lines 7 and 9 are successful so b1 is set to true and x is incremented. The next if test to succeed is on line 19 (note that the code is not testing to see if b2 is true, it is setting b2 to be true). Since line 19 was successful, subsequent else-if's (line 21) will be skipped.

If(b==true) is equivalent to if(b).

But if(b=true) first assigns true value to b and then check the condition.

Here b2 takes the true value.
if ( b2 = true ).

Here it is checked if b2 is true.
if ( b2 == true ).

Can we assign a value to a variable in if condition that mean if (x=5). Is it applicable or not?

Boopathi said:   1 decade ago
Why not consider this part? Please explain.

if(5>6)
{
x++;
}
if(!b)
{
x=x+10;
}

if ( 5 > 6 )
{
x++;
}
if ( !b1 )
x = x + 10;

Why this part is not considered?

In this statement, if(b2=true) first assign b2 value as true then check condition.

This will compile? Explain.

"else if (b2 = true) /* Line 19 */ ".

b2 = true ?

x must be 1001, assignment is not allowed inside an if statement in Java .

Geeta said:   9 years ago
A question is wrong. Kindly correct it at.

X = x + 1000.
