Suggested Answer: E Vote an answer
1. Why does the compilation fail?
* The interface Special contains bar as int bar = 1;.
* In Java, all interface fields are implicitly public, static, and final.
* This means that bar is a constant (final variable).
* The method add() contains bar--, which attempts to modify bar.
* Since bar is final, it cannot be modified, causing acompilation error.
2. Correcting the Code
To make the code compile, bar must not be final. One way to fix this:
java
class SpecialImpl implements Special {
int bar = 1;
}
Or modify the add() method:
java
int add() {
return --foo + bar; // No modification of bar
}
Thus, the correct answer is:Compilation fails.
