Consider the following code segment. int x = /* some integer value */; int y = /

Question

Consider the following code segment.

int x = /* some integer value */;
int y = /* some integer value */;

boolean result = (x < y);

result = ((x >= y) && !result);

Which of the following best describes the conditions under which the value of result will be true after the code segment is executed?

Question 11 options:

A)

Only when x >= y

B)

Only when x and y are equal

C)

Only when x < y

D)

The value will always be true.

E)

The value will never be true.

A)

Only when x >= y

B)

Only when x and y are equal

C)

Only when x < y

D)

The value will always be true.

E)

The value will never be true.

Explanation / Answer

The answer would be A) only when x>=y. As when the value of x is greater than or equal to y then on this statement (boolean result = (x < y);) the value of result will become false. so on the next statement (result = ((x >= y) && !result);) the x would be greater than or equal to y. so the first condition will be true and as result was false from the previous condition so the !result will be true. and there is and the operator is used in the between two conditions so if both conditions are true then the overall value of result will become true.
