What this code will do..

Will it compile or not.

public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("iexplore:");
[B]http : //www.google.com;[/B]
System.out.println(":maximize");
}
}

Enjoy Brainteaser.

Will come with some more

Hi Sharma Ji,

The above code won't compile as you are using a label http: not for a loop but for a statement.

Thanks.

[Asha Lilliete]

The given code is getting compiled
The thing is the label cannot be used.

[Saurabh Vyas]

I think the code should compile as it is a valid label and label can be used anywhere.

Good question. a real googly

Really !!!

Could you also pour your thoughts behind this reason.

[Rajesh Kadle]

Code will compile.

http : is treaded as label

www.google.com; is commented out in //www.google.com;

Then this means this code will also compile

public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
   right : //www.google.com; 
}
}

What are your thoughts now.

Now you can use your PC to check what are the things which are really going on.

public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
   right : //www.google.com; 
}
}

This code will not compile as there is no valid java statement after the label.
There should be atleast one valid java statement after the label which has semi-colon at the end.

No Sharma Ji that certainly not going to compile, but yes this one sure will compile,
