Mock Exam Qn.(What is the result)

[Chandrakanth]

1. package test1;
2. public class Test1 {
3. static int x = 42;
4. }
1. package test2;
2. public class Test2 extends test1.Test1 {
3. public static void main(String[] args) {
4. System.out.println("x = " + x);
5. }
6. }
What is the result?
A. x = 0
B. x = 42
C. Compilation fails because of an error in line 2 of class Test2.
D. Compilation fails because of an error in line 3 of class Test1.
E. Compilation fails because of an error in line 4 of class Test2.

[Poonam Thawani]

Its 42.

[Chandrakanth]

42 is not the answer.

I am confused with these two...
When i run the program i am getting the answer as 'E', but the Mock Exam gives the answer as 'C'.
Just wanted to make sure, the answer is E or not

C. Compilation fails because of an error in line 2 of class Test2.
E. Compilation fails because of an error in line 4 of class Test2.

[Niranjan Deshpande]

the variable x has a default access

[Naresh Gunda]

1. package test2; 
2. public class Test2 extends test1.Test1 { 
3. public static void main(String[] args) { 
4. System.out.println("x = " + x); 
5. } 
6. } 

Hi here, test1.Test1 class is not imported.
so line-2 gives compilation error.

[Sowjanya Chowdary]

I am also getting answer as E.
Because, x is not declared public in Test1.java, so it can't be accessed outside the package.

Answer can't be C because, when using a class outside a package, we can either import that package or use fully-qualified-name.
Here in line 2 of Test2.java, we are using fully-qualified-name of Test1 class as "test1.Test1.java".
