Answer:

The string is not a exit command and is an acceptable integer, so the square root is printed.


Details

123 does not match the RE *[Qq](uit)?.* so exitProgram() returns false.

123 does match the RE *[0-9]+ *

The leading and trailing spaces from the user input are matched by the beginning and end of the RE. In the RE, there is a space in front of each *. The 123 part of the input is matched by [0-9]+

The method goodNumber() returns true, so the spaces (if any) are trimmed off the string, and Integer.parseInt() converts the characters into an int which is then converted to a double and used with the square root method.
