Question

Consider the method total below:

public static int total (int result, int a, int b){ if (a == 0) { if (b == 0) { return result * 2; } return result / 2; } else { return result * 3; }}
The assignment statementx = total (1, 1, 1);must result in:A. x being assigned the value 3 B. x being assigned the value 7C. x being assigned the value 5D. x being assigned the value 2E. x being assigned the value 0

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:



When you look at the assignment "x = total (1, 1, 1);", you can see that result, a and b all refers to 1. Then, you need to go to the function and check the conditions. The first condition is "if (a == 0)", it is not true because a is assigned to 1. Since that is not true, you need to go to the else part "else { return result * 3". That means the result of this function is going to give us 3 (because result variable equals to 1 initially). That is why x is going to be assigned as 3.
