The program is run with java -ea Snippet100 - what will be the output?

public class Snippet100
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        long x = 5L;
        assert x / 2 == 2;
        System.out.println(x / 2);
    }
}

  • A.An AssertionError is thrown.
  • B.Compilation fails.
  • C.The program prints 2.5
  • D.The program prints 2

Answer: D

Dividing a long by an int promotes the int and performs long division, which truncates towards zero and gives 2. The assertion passes and 2 is printed. Integral division never produces a fractional result regardless of the width of the operands.
