Statement 1 is printing 0 and
Statement 2 is printing 1.

Why is it so?

Hemanth,
When u call z().i, the statement j=1 is not executed by that time. so, i=peek() returns default value of j.
But in case of z().peek(), before calling any method of a class, all the fields(variables) are assinged to thier values. So j which is assinged to 1 is returned.

Hope this helps,
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Amrutha

I believe you're right. Try changing the order of the declarations.

What I don't understand is when you run the above code, obviously the JVM complains that it cannot resolve symbol k.
If the JVM is smart enough to resolve and find whether the returned value is declared or not, why don't it just fetch the value of j too.
