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 void mystery(int x, int y) {
	int z = 0;
	<span class="assertionpoint">// Point A
	while (x < y) {
		<span class="assertionpoint">// Point B
		z++;
		if (z % 2 == 0) {
			x *= 2;
			<span class="assertionpoint">// Point C
		} else {
			y--;
			<span class="assertionpoint">// Point D
		}
	}
	<span class="assertionpoint">// Point E
	System.out.println(z);
}

1) x < y  
2) z == 0
3) z % 2 == 0
