Variable scope and lifetime: Correct Solution

Given the following code:

public class Eohe {
    public void swuoha(int prol) {
        A
        int aido = 0;
        io += prol;
        esil += prol;
        aido += prol;
        System.out.println("io=" + io + "  esil=" + esil + "  aido=" + aido);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        B
        Eohe e0 = new Eohe();
        Eohe e1 = new Eohe();
        C
        e0.swuoha(1);
        e1.swuoha(10);
        e1 = e0;
        e0 = e1;
        e0.swuoha(100);
        e1.swuoha(1000);
    }

    private static int io = 0;
    private int esil = 0;
}
  1. What does the main method print?
  2. Which of the variables [aido, io, esil, e0, e1] are in scope at A ?
  3. Which are in scope at B ?
  4. Which are in scope at C ?

Solution

  1. Output:

    aido=1  io=1  esil=1
aido=11  io=10  esil=10
aido=111  io=101  esil=100
aido=1111  io=1101  esil=1000

  2. In scope at A : aido, io, esil

  3. In scope at B : aido, e0

  4. In scope at C : aido, e0, e1

Explanation (which you do not need to write out in your submitted solution):

  1. aido is a static variable, io is an instance variable, and esil is a local variable.

  2. At A , e0 and e1 out of scope because they are local to the main method.

  3. At B , e1 is out of scope because it is not declared yet. io is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. esil is out of scope because it is local to swuoha.

  4. At C , io is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. esil is out of scope because it is local to swuoha.
