    Solution

    1. Illegal Access Modifier in Method Scope :
      • The keyword public is not allowed within the body of a method to declare a variable. Variables declared inside methods are considered local variables, and local variables cannot have access modifiers (public, private, protected).
      • This results in a compilation error.
    Corrected Code If the intent is to declare and initialize a local variable within the main method, the corrected code would be:                                                                                                                                   public class Animal {     public static void main(String args[]) {                int localVar = 5; // Correct declaration of a local variable         System.out.println(localVar); // Printing the value of localVar to demonstrate usage     } }
