{
X = a;
Y = b;
} public String toString()
{
Return ("x = " + x + ", y = " + y + ",
Count = " + count) ;
} public static void incrementY()
{
Y++;
}
}Based on the class in the accompanying figure, which of the following statements is illegal?

A) Secret.incrementY() ;

Illegal Statements

Code elements in programming that violate the syntax rules of the programming language and prevent the code from compiling.

Static Int

A static integer variable, meaning it belongs to the class rather than instances of the class and has the same value across all instances.

  • Differentiate among members of a class (methods and variables), with a comprehensive understanding of static and instance members.
  • Understand and utilize access modifiers, including private and public, within class definitions.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Secret.z++ is illegal because z is an instance variable and cannot be accessed in a static method. All the other statements are legal.
