The program is run with java -ea Sketch95 - what will be the output?

public class Sketch95
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] a = {4, 5, 6};
        int[] b = a.clone();
        assert a == b;
        System.out.println(b[0]);
    }
}

  • A.Compilation fails.
  • B.The program prints 1
  • C.An AssertionError is thrown.
  • D.The program prints 2

Answer: C

clone produces a new array with copied contents, so the two variables reference different objects and the identity comparison is false. The assertion throws. Asserting java.util.Arrays.equals(a, b) would pass, since the elements match.
