Question

What will be the output of the program? int x = 3; 
int y = 1; 
if (x = y) /* Line 3 */
{
    System.out.println("x =" + x); 
}

Accepted Answer

Line 3 uses an assignment as opposed to comparison. Because of this, the if statement receives an integer value instead of a boolean. And so the compilation fails.

What will be the output of the program? int x = 3; int y = 1; if (x = y) /* Line 3 */ { System.out.println("x =" + x); }
