Q: What is the output of the java program below

int a = 2;
switch (a) {
    case 1: 
        System.out.print("Tiger");
    case 2: 
        System.out.print("Deer");
    default: 
        System.out.print("Lion");
}

 

Let's analyze the given Java program to determine its output.

Code:

int a = 2;
switch (a) {
    case 1: 
        System.out.print("Tiger");
    case 2: 
        System.out.print("Deer");
    default: 
        System.out.print("Lion");
}
        

Explanation:

1. Initialization:

   int a = 2;
   The variable a is initialized with the value 2.

2. Switch Statement:

   switch (a) {
   The switch statement checks the value of a:

   • Case 1:

     Since a is 2, it does not match case 1, so the code inside case 1 is not executed.

   • Case 2:

     The value of a matches case 2, so the statement inside case 2 is executed:
     System.out.print("Deer");
     This prints Deer.

   • Default Case:

     Since there is no break statement, the execution falls through to the default case:
     System.out.print("Lion");
     This prints Lion.

3. Output:

   The output of the program is:
   DeerLion

Conclusion:

The correct answer is: c) DeerLion
