Hello Sri,
What will print 'test 2'?
if (a >4)
System.out.println("test1");
else if (a >9)
System.out.println("test2");
else
System.out.println("test3");
A. less than 0
B. less than 4
C. between 4 and 9
D. greater than 9
E. none
Sri, "test 2 " will never be printed bcoz of the earlier "if ".
If a is greater than 4, the first "if" satisfies the condition
so "test 1" is printed. Note 9 is obviously greater than 4 ...right ? which satisfies the first condition.
Hope u got it.

ALL THE BEST FOR UR EXAM.
