ParameterMysteryFarm

Author: Jason Ganzhorn

What output is produced by the following program? 

public class ParameterMysteryFarm {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String farm = "here";
        String old = "macdonald";
        String macdonald = "there";
        String everywhere = "farm";
        String here = "everywhere";
        String there = "old";
        String quack = "duck";

        mystery(macdonald, there, "everywhere");
        mystery(old, macdonald, farm);
        mystery("quack", here, "there");
        mystery(quack, "here", "farm");
        mystery(old, everywhere, there);
    }
           
    public static void mystery(String macdonald, String farm, String old) {
        System.out.println(old + " " + macdonald + " had a " + farm);
    }
}

Write the output of each call as it would appear on the console. (Do not put quotes around your answers.)

mystery(macdonald, there, "everywhere");
mystery(old, macdonald, farm);
mystery("quack", here, "there");
mystery(quack, "here", "farm");
mystery(old, everywhere, there);
