Problem: Assertions
You will identify various assertions as being either always true, never true or sometimes true/sometimes false at various points in program execution. The comments in the method below indicate the points of interest. public static int mystery(int x) { int y = 1; int z = 0; <span class="assertionpoint">// Point A while (x > y) { <span class="assertionpoint">// Point B z += x - y; x /= 2; <span class="assertionpoint">// Point C y *= 2; <span class="assertionpoint">// Point D } <span class="assertionpoint">// Point E return z; }
1) x > y
2) z > 0
3) y % 2 == 0
