SCJP question 2

[priyaguptan]

Given:

public class Test{
public enum Dogs{collie,harrier,shepherd};
public static void main(String [] args){
Dogs myDog=Dogs.shepherd;
switch(myDog)
{
case collie:
System.out.print("collie");
case default:
System.out.print("retreiver");
case harrier:
System.out.print("harrier");
}
}
}

what would be the output of this program? Would it print retreiver harrier or would it give a compilation error?

Your code is not compiling in my machine. To compile the file I changed case default to just default . So now the code will be
[java]
switch(myDog)
{
case collie:
System.out.print("collie");
default:
System.out.print("retreiver");
case harrier:
System.out.print("harrier");
}
[/java]

And the above code will print
retreiver
harrier
