Re: Interesting Java interview question

A friend of mine likes to ask this question when interviewing Java
developers. Thought I'd pass it along because it's sort of interesting.
Why does the following compile, and what does the output look like?
System.out.println(new Object(){{{}}}.toString());
He says he has asked this question of several dozen people, and almost
everyone just stares at it in shock. Only one has answered it
correctly. I wish I had his resume...
Well, that one was pretty simple, and Eclipse already stated that I
should document my empty code block :)
Of course, I make more frequent use of
System.out.println(new Object(){static{{}}}.toString());
since most initialization can be done within a constructor.
