A student executes the following program segment and gets an error. Identify the statement which has an error, correct the same to get the output as WIN.

Statement having the error is:

boolean x = true;

Corrected code:

int x = 1; // Change boolean to int
switch(x)
{ 
  case 1: System.out.println("WIN"); break;
  case 2: System.out.println("LOOSE");
}

Explanation:

The error occurs because the switch statement in Java does not support the boolean data type. A switch expression must be one of the following types:

• int, byte, short, char, String, or an enum.

Replacing boolean x = true; with int x = 1; ensures that the switch statement now uses a valid data type (int). Assigning x = 1 makes the case 1 to execute printing WIN as the output.
