Why B is the correct Answer.
Q # 28).
What will happen if you invoke the following method?
1: public void check()
2: {
3: System.out.println(Math.min(-0.0,+0.0));
4: System.out.println(Math.max(-0.0,+0.0));
5: System.out.println(Math.min(-0.0,+0.0) == Math.max(0.0,+0.0));
6: }

A) prints -0.0, +0.0 and false.
B) prints -0.0, +0.0 and true.
C) prints 0.0, 0.0 and false.
D) prints 0.0, 0.0 and true.

Hi,
The answer is b.
for Math.max() and Math.min -0.0 and +0.0 are different
for equality -0.0 is equal to +0.0
the output you get is -0.0, 0.0 ,true
