What will be the output of the program? class Equals { public static void main(String [] args) { int x = 100; double y = 100.1; boolean b = (x = y); /* Line 7 */ System.out.println(b); } }
Correct Answer: Compilation fails
Explanation:
The code will not compile because in line 7, the line will work only if we use (x==y) in the line. The == operator compares values to produce a boolean, whereas the = operator assigns a value to variables.
Option A, B, and D are incorrect because the code does not get as far as compiling. If we corrected this code, the output would be false.
