Hi,

I got the following question in a interview test that i gave and i was
unable to answer it.

========================================================================
What does the following program print?

public class Initializer
{
   private static boolean initialized = false;
   static
   {
       Thread t = new Thread( new Runnable()
       {
           public void run()
           {
               initialized = true;
           }
       } );

       t.start();
       try
       {
           t.join();
       }
       catch (InterruptedException e)
       {
           throw new AssertionError(e);
       }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       System.out.println(initialized);
   }
}

(provide the exact output for this question, there are no choices)
=================================================================

At the time of the test, i just couldnt figure if the code would be
executed or not since in Main, there was no instance of the object
created.

Any help on the question  ?

Also where could i find such tricky snippets of code so that icould
test myself and in the process improve my java knowledge.

Thank You.
