Q1:The following code which represents the content of the file Main.java contains some errors (or
bugs). Find the errors and explain them. Rewrite the code lines that contain the errors after
correcting them. What would be the output of the program after correction.

1) public class Main {

2) private int v = 7;
3)
4) public static void main(String[] args) {
5) Multiplier two = new Multiplier(2);
6) Multiplier three;
7) three = new Multiplier();
8) Multiplier four;
9)
10) String s1 = "--- Testing Mutltipliers ---";
11) String s2 = v + " x " + two.factor + " = " + two.calculate(v);
12) String s3 = v + " x " + three.factor + " = " + three.calculate(v);
13) String s4 = v + " x " + four.factor + " = " + four.calculate(v);
14)
15) System.out.println(s1);
16) System.out.println(s2);
17) System.out.println(s3);
18) System.out.println(s4);
19) }
20) }
21)
22) public class Multiplier {
23) public final int factor;
24)
25) public void Multiplier(int a) {
26) factor = this.a;
27) }
28)
29) public int calculate(int value) {
30) return value * factor;
31) }
32) }

Q2:What are the differences between private, protected, and public access modifiers?

Q3:Can we declare a constructor as private for a given class? If yes, how can you declare an
instance (object) of that class? If no, why not?

5) }
6) }
7) class SuperClass {
8) public SuperClass() {
9) System.out.println("Inside the SuperClass() default constructor");
10) }
11) public SuperClass(int a) {
12) System.out.println("Inside the SuperClass(int a) constructor");
13) }
14) }
15)
16) class SubClass extends SuperClass {
17) public SubClass(int a) {
18) System.out.println("Inside the SubClass(int a) constructor");
19) }
20) }
