What is the value of the cost variable after the following code snippet is executed? int cost = 82; if (cost 50) { cost = cost * 2; } if (cost < 100) { cost = cost - 20; }

184

Explanation:

Given the codes

int cost = 82; if (cost <100) { + 10; }if (cost> 50) { cost = cost * 2; } if (cost < 100) { cost = cost - 20; }

The initial value of cost is 82.

The if condition in Line 3 will pass and therefore cost = 82 + 10 = 92

The if condition in Line 8 will pass and therefore cost = 92 * 2 = 184

The if condition in Line 13 will fail l and therefore the if block will be skipped.

At last, the we get cost = 184.
