public class BearOrShark { public static void main(String[] args) { int luck = 10; if((luck>10 ? luck++: --luck)<10) { System.out.print("Bear"); } if(luck<10) System.out.print("Shark"); } }
❌ A. Bear ❌ B. Shark ✅ C. BearShark ❌ D. The code will not compile because of line 4. ❌ E. The code will not compile because of line 6. ❌ F. The code compiles without issue but does not produce any output
Explanation: The code compiles and runs without issue, so options D and E are correct. Remember that only one of the right-hand ternary expressions will be evaluated at runtime. Since luck is not less than 10, the second expression, --luck, will be evaluated, and since the pre-increment operator was used, the value returned will be 9, which is less than 10. So the first if-then statement will be visited and Bear will be output. Notice there is no else statement on line 6. Since luck is still less than 10, the second if-then statement will also be reached and Shark will be output; therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
