The provided code has a fundamental issue and will not compile because of a syntax error caused by the incorrect usage of elseif
. In Java, the correct syntax is else if
. Fixing this issue, here is what the code is intended to do:
Corrected Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Alok {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter Your first number : ");
double X = sc.nextDouble();
System.out.print("Enter your second number : ");
float Y = sc.nextFloat();
if (X >= Y) {
System.out.println("Alok is harami");
} else if (Y >= X) { // Correcting the 'elseif'
System.out.println("Alok is kuttiya");
} else if (X > 10 && Y > 10) {
System.out.println("Select numbers under 10 or 10 itself");
}
sc.close();
}
}
Explanation of Code:
-
User Input:
- The program uses a
Scanner
object to take two numerical inputs:- The first number (
X
) is taken as adouble
. - The second number (
Y
) is taken as afloat
.
- The first number (
- The program uses a
-
Decision Making with Conditional Statements:
- If
X
is greater than or equal toY
, it prints:Alok is harami
- If
Y
is greater than or equal toX
, it prints:
(Note: both these conditions can overlap ifAlok is kuttiya
X == Y
, so both statements could end up printing in that case.) - If the fixed condition
X > 10 && Y > 10
is true, it checks whether both numbers are greater than 10. If so, it prints:Select numbers under 10 or 10 itself
- If
-
Closing the Scanner:
- The
Scanner
object is closed after all inputs are processed.
- The
Issues with Logic:
- The condition
X >= Y
andY >= X
overlap whenX == Y
. In that case, both messages would print. - The third condition
X > 10 && Y > 10
might not be checked as intended because theelse if
placement causes it to be skipped.
Example:
Input:
Enter Your first number: 12
Enter Your second number: 8
Output:
Alok is harami
If you provide numbers where both are greater than 10, this logic may behave incorrectly due to the condition placement. For better functionality, logic restructuring is required.
This code likely serves as a demonstration of branching with if-else
for learning purposes.
