Answer / santhosh vayathuri
redefines will not check whether is numeric data type or
alphanumeric datatype simply it will display the value what
ever there in the memory . so for this question answer is
a = xy
b = xy

Answer / shyamala a
SCENARIO 1 :
If we move "XY" TO A then the result will be
1. You will get a compilation warning "** Warning 378 ** Expected digit string as sending operand"
2. display will be Both A and B will have 00.
sCENARIO 2:
iF WE MOVE "xy" TO B then the result will be
1. No compilation/run time error.
2. Display will be both A and B = XY
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / neha
a=00
b=xy
because redefines only defines the length of the variables ,not the particular value.
