$ javac variable_scope.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: y cannot be
resolved to a variable

53. What will be the error in the following Java code?

byte b = 50;
b = b * 50;

* operator has converted b * 50 into int, which can not be converted to byte without casting

Explanation: While evaluating an expression containing int, bytes or shorts, the whole expression
is converted to int then evaluated and the result is also of type int.
