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 (y <= x) { <span class="assertionpoint">// Point B y = y * 10; z++; <span class="assertionpoint">// Point C } <span class="assertionpoint">// Point D z--; <span class="assertionpoint">// Point E return z; }
1) y > x
2) z < 0
3) z > 0
