Compound Boolean Expressions

AP Computer Science A· difficulty 3/5

public static int sc() {
    int x = 5;
    int y = 10;
    if (x > 3 || ++y > 20) {
        x++;
    }
    return x + y;
}
// Call: System.out.println(sc());

What is printed?

A
$16$
check_circle
B
$26$
C
$15$
D
$17$

Explanation

x>3 is true so ++y is short-circuited (y stays 10). x++ makes x=6. Return 6 + 10 = 16.
