Statements in Java
Each code block translates to a specific statement in English. There is a theme behind the statements. As code puzzles tend to be "easier" (relative to other PSE puzzles) than expected, it will not be revealed unless people are unable to make any progress on the phrases.
1:
public class Statement() {
void Riddle1() {
Citizen you = new Citizen();
Government() g = new Government();
\g.getService(you)
\after a code revision, I've determined the following is better:
you.getService(g)
}
}
2:
System.out.println(listofconcerns.length); \returns 1
System.out.println(listofconcerns[0]); \returns the string "concerns"
3:
(house has been declared and initialized at some point before this line)
int quotient = house/house;
Boolean b = quotient == 1;
System.out.println(b); \returns false, with a compiler specific error on the result not holding up
4:
int anglevel = anger();
if(anglevel > threshold1) {
wait(10000);
if( anglevel > threshold2) {
wait(90000);
}
}

Correct. I suppose there's no way that code puzzles like these will ever be too difficult.

@Displayname Putting them together makes them easier, because once you get one, you get a hint to the others. However, easy doesn't mean bad, I think theme makes it better.
