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
