java if后面不带大括号,嵌套的if-else行为没有大括号

Consider the following unformatted nested if-else Java code

if (condition 1)

if (condition 2)

action 1;

else

action 2;

My question is: according to the Java language specifications, to what if does the else branch apply?

By hand-reformatting and adding braces, which of these two is correct?

Block 1:

if (condition 1) {

if (condition 2) {

action 1;

} else

action 2;

}

}

Block 2:

if (condition 1) {

if (condition 2) {

action 1;

}

}

else {

action 2;

}

解决方案

The Java programming language, like C and C++ and many programming languages before them, arbitrarily decrees that an else clause belongs to the innermost if to which it might possibly belong.
