public static int numOddDigits(int n) {
    int x = 0;

    // Point A
    while (n != 0) {
        // Point B
        if (n % 2 == 1) {
            x++;
            // Point C
        }

        n = n / 10;
        // Point D
    }

    // Point E
    return x;
}

Fill in each box of the the table below with ALWAYS, NEVER or SOMETIMES.
