Variable scope and lifetime: Correct Solution

Given the following code:

public class Decri {
    private int waee = 0;

    public void kanee(int ou) {
        int in = 0;
        A
        in += ou;
        vanu += ou;
        waee += ou;
        System.out.println("in=" + in + "  vanu=" + vanu + "  waee=" + waee);
    }

    private static int vanu = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Decri d0 = new Decri();
        B
        Decri d1 = new Decri();
        C
        d0.kanee(1);
        d1.kanee(10);
        d0 = new Decri();
        d0.kanee(100);
        d1 = new Decri();
        d1.kanee(1000);
    }
}
  1. What does the main method print?
  2. Which of the variables [waee, in, vanu, d0, d1] are in scope at A ?
  3. Which are in scope at B ?
  4. Which are in scope at C ?

Solution

  1. Output:

    waee=1  in=1  vanu=1
waee=10  in=11  vanu=10
waee=100  in=111  vanu=100
waee=1000  in=1111  vanu=1000

  2. In scope at A : in, vanu, waee

  3. In scope at B : in, d0, d1

  4. In scope at C : in, d0, d1

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

  1. in is a static variable, vanu is an instance variable, and waee is a local variable.

  2. At A , d0 and d1 out of scope because they are local to the main method.

  3. At B , vanu is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. waee is out of scope because it is local to kanee.

  4. At C , vanu is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. waee is out of scope because it is local to kanee.
