Prerequisite : while loop in Java
1. What will be the output for the following program?
class Test {
public
static void main(String[] args)
{
do
while ( true )
System.out.println( "HELLO" );
while ( false );
}
}
|
Options:
1. HELLO
2. Compile time error
3. HELLO (infinitely)
4. No Output
The answer is option (3)
Explanation: Think the above example like this
do
while(true)
System.out.println("HELLO");
while(false);
This is the simple do-while loop. As we know that in while loop without curly braces we can take only one statement which should not be declarative. Here, HELLO is that one statement of while loop which is without curly braces. Here the inner while loop always gives true and the program output will HELLO infinitely.
2. What will be the output for the following program?
class Test {
public
static void main(String[] args)
{
do
System.out.println( "FRIENDS" );
while ( true );
System.out.println( "ENEMY" );
}
}
|
Options:
1. Compile time error
2. FRIENDS
3. No output
4. ENEMY
The answer is option (1)
Explanation: Here while loop always give true and it will print FRIENDS infinitely and did not give change to print ENEMY. Which gives compile time error saying
prog.java:8: error: unreachable statement
System.out.println("ENEMY");
3. What will be the output for the following program?
class Test {
public
static void main(String[] args)
{
int x = 1 , y = 2 ;
do
System.out.println( "FRIENDS" );
while (x < y);
System.out.println( "ENEMY" );
}
}
|
Options:
1. FRIENDS
2. ENEMY
3. No Output
4. FRIENDS (Infinitely)
The answer is option (4)
Explanation: Here at the compile time compiler thinks that x and y both are variables and its value can be changed and that will gives false to the while loop. Which gives the chance to print ENEMY that’s why compiler did not throw any compile time error.
4. What will be the output for the following program?
class Test {
public
static void main(String[] args)
{
do
while ( true )
;
System.out.println( "HELLO" );
}
}
|
Options:
1 HELLO
2 HELLO (Infinitely)
3 Error: Unreachable statement
4 Error: ; expected
The answer is option (4)
Explanation: In the above example there is a syntax error of do-while loop. As we all know that without curly braces we can take a statement which cannot be declarative but if we are not specifying any statement and not mentioning any curly braces then compiler will give an error saying Error: ; expected.
5. What will be the output for the following program?
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
do {
System.out.print( 1 );
do {
System.out.print( 2 );
} while ( false );
} while ( false );
}
}

Options:
1. 12
2. 21
3. 1
4. 2
The answer is option (1)
Explanation: In the above example, nesting in a do while will work under nesting process. First inner do-while loop will be executed after that the outer one.
