Interface Ambiguous Fields

What will be the output of compiling and running the following program:

interface I1{
 int VALUE = 1;
 void m1();
}
interface I2{
 int VALUE = 2;
 void m1();
}
class TestClass implements I1, I2{
 public static void main(String[] args){
  I1 i1 = new TestClass();
  i1.m1();
 }
 public void m1() { 
  System.out.println("Hello"); 
  System.out.println(I1.VALUE);
  System.out.println(I2.VALUE);	  
 }		
}

The output for the above program is

Hello
1
2

Ambiguous Interface Fields

Having ambiguous fields does not cause any problems but referring to such fields in an ambiguous way will cause a compile time error. So you cannot execute the following statement in your code:

System.out.println(VALUE); 
//The field VALUE is ambiguous

because it is ambiguous.
You can refer to a static variable of an interface by associating the static variable with the interface:
For example, I3.VALUE and I4.VALUE as in the example below.

interface I3{
 int VALUE = 5;
 void m1();
}
interface I4{
 int VALUE = 7;
 void m1();
}
public class AlteredClass implements I3, I4{
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  AlteredClass ac1 = new AlteredClass();
  ac1.m1();
  System.out.println("I3.VALUE= " + I3.VALUE);
  System.out.println("I4.VALUE= " + I4.VALUE);
 }
 public void m1() { 
  System.out.println("Within method m1()"); 
 }	
}

//Program output 
Within method m1()
I3.VALUE= 5
I4.VALUE= 7
