Author: Roy McElmurry (on 2010/12/28)

Consider the following method.

public static void ifElseMystery(int a, int b) {
    if (a * 2 < b) {
        a = a * 3;
    }
    if (b < a) {
        b++;
    } else {
        a--;
    }
    System.out.println(a + " " + b);
}

For each call below, indicate what output is produced.

ifElseMystery(10, 2);
ifElseMystery(3, 8);
ifElseMystery(4, 4);
ifElseMystery(10, 30);
