Since, initially value of num is 10 and in the if-statement the condition has been given for checking
the equality of num with 20 which is not correct, therefore it will throw an exception. Diagrammatically it
can be represented as:
Operand stack
Before
After
Value1
Value2
……
Operand stack
BeforeAfter
10
20
……
value1 = 10 (num)
value2 = 20
Since num is not equal to 20 exception is obtained. But if the exception is not obtained, the bytecode given
below will execute:
18: new #2; //class demo1
21: dup
22: invokespecial #3; //Method demo1.”<init>”:()V
25: athrow

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
