Question

What is the value of the cost variable after the following code snippet is executed? int cost = 82; if (cost < 100) { cost = cost + 10; } if (cost > 50) { cost = cost * 2; } if (cost < 100) { cost = cost - 20; }

Answer 1

Answer:

184

Explanation:

Given the codes

1.        int cost = 82;
3.        if (cost < 100)
4.        {
5.            cost = cost + 10;
6.        }
8.        if (cost > 50)
9.        {
10.            cost = cost * 2;
11.        }
13.        if (cost < 100)
14.        {
15.            cost = cost - 20;
16.        }

The initial value of cost is 82.

The if condition in Line 3 will pass and therefore cost = 82 + 10 = 92

The if condition in Line 8 will pass and therefore cost = 92 * 2 = 184

The if condition in Line 13 will fail l and therefore the if block will be skipped.

At last, the we get cost = 184.
