Variable scope and lifetime: Correct Solution

Given the following code:

public class Cian {
    public void lerd(int cano) {
        A
        int se = 0;
        hean += cano;
        se += cano;
        o += cano;
        System.out.println("hean=" + hean + "  se=" + se + "  o=" + o);
    }

    private static int hean = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        B
        Cian c0 = new Cian();
        Cian c1 = new Cian();
        c0.lerd(1);
        c1.lerd(10);
        c0 = new Cian();
        c1 = c0;
        c0.lerd(100);
        c1.lerd(1000);
        C
    }

    private int o = 0;
}
  1. What does the main method print?
  2. Which of the variables [o, hean, se, c0, c1] are in scope at A ?
  3. Which are in scope at B ?
  4. Which are in scope at C ?

Solution

  1. Output:

    o=1  hean=1  se=1
o=11  hean=10  se=10
o=111  hean=100  se=100
o=1111  hean=1000  se=1100

  2. In scope at A : o, se, hean

  3. In scope at B : o, c0

  4. In scope at C : o

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

  1. o is a static variable, se is an instance variable, and hean is a local variable.

  2. At A , c0 and c1 out of scope because they are local to the main method.

  3. At B , c1 is out of scope because it is not declared yet. se is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. hean is out of scope because it is local to lerd.

  4. At C , c0 and c1 are out of scope because they are not declared yet. se is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. hean is out of scope because it is local to lerd.
