NPE while assign the Null value to primitive at runtime

public class TestOutput {

     public static void main(String[] args) {

           int value = solution();

           System.out.println(value);

     }

     private static int solution() {

           return true?0:null;

     }

}

Output: 0

When we assign the null value to primitive at runtime, it will throw NullPointerException.

public classTestOutput {

     public static voidmain(String[] args) {

           int value = solution();

           System.out.println(value);

     }

     private static intsolution() {

           return true?null:0;

     }

}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at TestOutput.solution(TestOutput.java:10) at TestOutput.main(TestOutput.java:5)
