Question

consider the following program code:
var x = 4;
var y = 6;
var temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;
what are the values of x and y as a result of this program code?

• x has a value of y

y has a value of temp

• x has a value of 4

y has a value of 6

• x has a value of 6

y has a value of 4

• x and y have a value of 4

Explanation:

Step1: Initial Values

We start with \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 6 \).

Step2: Assign temp

We set \( \text{temp}=x \), so \( \text{temp} = 4 \).

Step3: Assign x

We set \( x = y \), so \( x = 6 \).

Step4: Assign y

We set \( y=\text{temp} \), so \( y = 4 \).

Answer:

x has a value of 6, y has a value of 4 (corresponding to the option: x has a value of 6, y has a value of 4)
