CHECK THIS

[Herbert Maosa]

Hie Friends, Here is something I think is interesting.Try to answer without compiling.
Do you think the following snippet will compile ? If it does, what is the output ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
int i =1;
do while (i>1)
System.out.print(i);
while(false);
---------------------------------------------------------------

OK, I'll bite!
I interpret this as follows:
int i =1;
do{
while (i>1) System.out.print(i);
}while(false);
It should compile, go through the do once, not enter the inner while, and exit with no output. How'd I do?

JavaNut, hang on and and let others play with it also.

I don't think it will compile.
Reason: hanging while stmt.
Will stay tuned .

Hi,
I'll go with Java nut.
It will compile, but there won't be any output!!

It will compile, but will not produce any output. Though the control enters into the do loop, since i>1 is false the inner while loop will not get executed. The println is inside the inner while loop, so nothing gets printed. while(false) is always false, so the do loop ends!.
Am I close?

That's a tricky and good question. It will compile and run but there will be no output printed as the condition in while(i>1) is not satisfied. The outer loop is a do loop and hence the body is executed and then the condition of while(false) is checked. Here false is of boolean result kind and hence is valid. Since it is false, the loop ends. If instead we had true, then it would have been an indefinite loop.

Here's a try......
To me the code looks like
int i = 1;
do {
while (i>1)
{ System.out.print(i); }
}
while(false);
The program will compile fine. Nothing will be printed on the screen.... Tricky one.... going to compile it right now....

Hai friends,
The above program will compile and will not produce any result provided it is written inside a class with proper main signature
If we interpret it as follow then
public class T1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i =1;
do
{
}
while (i>1)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
while(false);
}
}
it will not compile because of the missing ;
if we interpret it with ; then will work fine
if we interpret as follows
public class T1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i =1;
do{
while (i>1)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
}
while(false);
}
}
then it will compile.But no results will be produced since the while loop is never executed.
I believe that the compiler will consider it as in the later code.If not please correct me.
thanks.

Hi friends,
Code will compile and run fine , no error will be generated.
The thing is that whenever u dont use brackets then any java keyword like do , while and all others will effect only the very next line,
but here the intersting part is that everyother line is attached with the very next line, thats y it goes fine. (plz correct me if i m wrong)
( One more thing , i m new in this forum with the refernce of my friend who has just done Java certification, i m 24/male and i have worked on oracle but i m very much attracted towards java thats y i have started working on it and i m glad that i have found such a good forum with great helping ppl, i have done course in java in college and some experience of servlets as well.)

Hello Fred,
Until all of us find some time( after completing SCJP ) to learn other languages, can we please converse in English? I know multilingual talents are enviable assets, but not here.
