System.out.println("TEN AS USUAL");
}
A) TEN
B) TEN AGAIN
C) TEN AS USUAL
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:
Case constant 10 is duplicate. So, it causes compiler
error.
26) What is the output of the below Java program?
char grade = 'B';
switch(grade)
{
case 'A':
System.out.print("GRADE-A ");break;
case 'B':

case 'C':
System.out.print("GRADE-C ");
}
A) GRADE-A
B) GRADE-B
C) GRADE-B GRADE-C
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
"char" data type is allowed inside a Java SWITCH

27) What is the output of the below Java program with SWICH
and ENUM?
static enum ANIMAL {GOAT, TIGER, CAMEL}
public static void main(String args[])
{
ANIMAL ani =

System.out.println("TIGER");break;
}
}
A) CAMEL
B) GOAT
C) TIGER
D) Compiler error
