10.
What will be the output of the program?
class SSBool 
{
    public static void main(String [] args) 
    {
        boolean b1 = true;
        boolean b2 = false;
        boolean b3 = true;
        if ( b1 & b2 | b2 & b3 | b2 ) /* Line 8 */
            System.out.print("ok ");
        if ( b1 & b2 | b2 & b3 | b2 | b1 ) /*Line 10*/
            System.out.println("dokey");
    }
}
ok
dokey
ok dokey
No output is produced
Compilation error
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The & operator has a higher precedence than the | operator so that on line 8 b1 and b2 are evaluated together as are b2 & b3. The final b1 in line 10 is what causes that if test to be true. Hence it prints "dokey".
