Variable scope and lifetime: Correct Solution

Given the following code:

public class Busstec {
    public void lonPila(int ve) {
        int angu = 0;
        A
        puur += ve;
        angu += ve;
        il += ve;
        System.out.println("puur=" + puur + "  angu=" + angu + "  il=" + il);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        B
        Busstec b0 = new Busstec();
        Busstec b1 = new Busstec();
        b0.lonPila(1);
        b1.lonPila(10);
        b0.lonPila(100);
        b1 = new Busstec();
        b0 = b1;
        b1.lonPila(1000);
        C
    }

    private int il = 0;
    private static int puur = 0;
}
  1. What does the main method print?
  2. Which of the variables [il, puur, angu, b0, b1] are in scope at A ?
  3. Which are in scope at B ?
  4. Which are in scope at C ?

Solution

  1. Output:

    il=1  puur=1  angu=1
il=11  puur=10  angu=10
il=111  puur=100  angu=101
il=1111  puur=1000  angu=1000

  2. In scope at A : il, angu, puur

  3. In scope at B : il, b0

  4. In scope at C : il

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

  1. il is a static variable, angu is an instance variable, and puur is a local variable.

  2. At A , b0 and b1 out of scope because they are local to the main method.

  3. At B , b1 is out of scope because it is not declared yet. angu is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. puur is out of scope because it is local to lonPila.

  4. At C , b0 and b1 are out of scope because they are not declared yet. angu is out of scope because it is an instance variable, but main is a static method. puur is out of scope because it is local to lonPila.
