used up half the available memory.
An object may be eligible for garbage collection
but never removed from the heap.

no references to it are accessible in the
program.
Marking a variable final means its associated
object will never be garbage collected.

Question 23
are true? (Choose all that apply.)
public class River {
int Depth = 1; float temp = 50.0;
public void flow() {
for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {int depth = 2;
depth++; temp--;}
System.out.println(depth);
System.out.println(temp); }
public static void main(String... s) {
new River().flow(); } }
“float temp = 50.0;” generates a compiler
error.
“int depth = 2;” generates a compiler error.
“depth++;” generates a compiler error.
“System.out.println(depth);” generates a
compiler error.
The program prints 3 at
“System.out.println(depth);”.
The program prints 50.0 at
“System.out.println(temp);“.
“System.out.println(temp);”.

Answer 23
true? (Choose all that apply.)
public class River {
int Depth = 1; float temp = 50.0;

depth++; temp--;}
System.out.println(depth);
System.out.println(temp); }
public static void main(String... s) {
new River().flow(); } }
“float temp = 50.0;” generates a compiler error.
“int depth = 2;” generates a compiler error.
“depth++;” generates a compiler error.
“System.out.println(depth);” generates a
compiler error.
“System.out.println(temp);“.
“System.out.println(temp);”.
Comment: 50.0 needs “f” and depth is out of
scope at println

15 minute break
This is the end of chapter 1.
Chapter 2 will resume after the break.
