Question

What is wrong, logically, with the following code? if (x > 10) System.out.println("Large"); else if (x > 6 && x <= 10) System.out.println("Medium"); else if (x > 3 && x <= 6) System.out.println("Small"); else System.out.println("Very small");

Answer 1

The above code will hold the second condition with && operator, like "x<=6" or"x<=10" condition in the else if statement which is of no use.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The above code holds a condition-based statement by the help of if-else statement where--
• The first if-condition will states true when the value of x will be greater than 10, So the if-else condition will be tested for that value of x which is less than or equal to 10.
• So there is no needs to justify the " x <= 10" for else if statement and " x <= 6" for the second else if statement because the second else if statement will be tasted when the value of x will be less than or equal to 6.
