Answer #3 is correct. Since there is no sign clause it will
just ignore the -ve sign and resultant will be 10.
Also Prabhu, there is no problem with the level no. There
will not be any error due to the level no.

and not like 01,02,03.
So it show the error only.Wll not exucute.
I think so. If any wrong plz apologise me.
