Who can help me with this java program please. What is the value of the variable q and r?

Question

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int p = 1;
int q = 2;
int r = 3;
if(r > p + q) {
r = 2 * p
}
else if(r < p + q) {
r = 2 * q
}
System.out.printIn("r");
else if{
q = 2 * r
System.out.println("q");
}
}
}

Answer 1

wait... it will show many errors (most probably)
here is the corrected code ☺ & value of q & r will be 6 & 3 respectively

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int p = 1;
int q = 2;
int r = 3;
if(r > p + q) {
//this condition is false bcz 3 is not > 1+2
r = 2 * p
;
}
else if(r < p + q) {
//this condition is also false
r = 2 * q
;
}
else {
System.out.println("r = "+r);
q = 2 * r
; // q is 6 & r = 3
System.out.println("q ="+q);
}
}
}

Answer 2

It will show compile time error due to break of else if chain

Answer 3

don't u think it will give the error of dangling else

Answer 4

When you want to print the value of any variable, you must not write it in "". Replace "r" by r in print statement & same for q.
