Anything wrong in this code ????

[sekhar subbu]

public class Person
{
int i=9 ;
{

int i=10 ;

}

public static void main(String args[])
{
int u=90;
{

int u=190;

}

}

}

Are you asking for an explanation or posing a challenge?

It will not compile. Try changing

int u=190;

to

int j=190;

and it would work just fine. Previous declaration of int i would not be seen as a duplicate as they are in separate blocks of code, thus their scope is limited to their blocks. The repitition of

u

in main is not allowed however.

Hi
thanks a lot for the explanation....actually i saw it in a java test question paper and i was wondering abt the answer?

anyways now i got the answer .

But i wanted to know why does in main ....we cant have that redeclaration like in class ?

[Murad Iqbal]

Its not about main. Its about method. You can not have that redeclared in a method. In a class you can.
