Given the following code:


public class Foo {
    private Foo() {
        return this;            // 1
    }
    public static Foo get() {
        return new Foo();       // 2
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo foo1 = get();       // 3
        Foo foo2 = new Foo();   // 4
    }
}

Will there be a compilation error and if so, in what lines?

Explanation

Code will not compile.
There will be a compilation error in line 1 - in the constructor in the return statement it's not allowed to specify the return value.
