The code compiles and the output is 2 because in line 28, the method fubar is called with a new instance of class A as the argument, which implements the Foo interface and overrides the bar() method to return 2. If lines 16, 17, and 18 were removed, the code would still compile and the output would be 2 because the A class inside the Beta class would be used. If lines 24, 25, and 26 were removed, the code would still compile and the output would be 1 because the A class outside the Beta class would be used.
