Question

what is printed by the following program? var numapples = 10; var numoranges = 5; if(numapples < 20 || numoranges == numapples){ println(\hello, we are open!\); } else { println(\sorry, we are closed!\); } println(\sincerely, the grocery store\); hello, we are open! sincerely, the grocery store sorry, we are closed! sincerely, the grocery store hello, we are open! sorry, we are closed! sincerely, the grocery store

Explanation:

Step1: Check condition

Check if numApples < 20 or numOranges == numApples.
numApples = 10, so 10 < 20 is true.
Since it's an || (logical OR) operation, if one condition is true, the whole condition is true.

Step2: Execute code

Since the condition is true, the code inside the if block (println("Hello, we are open!")) is executed.
Then, the last println("Sincerely, the grocery store") is always executed as it's outside the if - else block.

Answer:

Hello, we are open!
Sincerely, the grocery store
