Question

int a = 13 - 6;
int b = a + 3;
int c = a + b;
system.out.println(a + \ \ + b + \ \ + c);
what is the output of the following code fragment?
options: 1 4 5; 6 9 15; 7 10 17

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the value of a

Given \( \text{int } a = 13 - 6 \), we perform the subtraction: \( 13 - 6 = 7 \), so \( a = 7 \).

Step2: Calculate the value of b

Given \( \text{int } b = a + 3 \), substitute \( a = 7 \) into the expression: \( 7 + 3 = 10 \), so \( b = 10 \).

Step3: Calculate the value of c

Given \( \text{int } c = a + b \), substitute \( a = 7 \) and \( b = 10 \) into the expression: \( 7 + 10 = 17 \), so \( c = 17 \).

Step4: Determine the output

The System.out.println statement prints \( a + " " + b + " " + c \), which is \( 7\ 10\ 17 \).

Answer:

7 10 17 (corresponding to the third option: 7 10 17)
