What is the result of the following code snippet?
3: int m = 9, n = 1, x = 0; 4: while(m > n) { 5: m--; 6: n += 2; 7: x += m + n; 8: } 9: System.out.println(x);
D.
Prior to the first iteration, m = 9, n = 1, and x = 0.
After the iteration of the first loop, m is updated to 8, n to 3, and x to the sum of the new values for m + n, 0 + 11 = 11.
After the iteration of the second loop, m is updated to 7, n to 5, and x to the sum of the new values for m + n, 11 + 12 = 23.
After the iteration of the third loop, m is updated to 6, n to 7, and x to the sum of the new values for m + n, 23 + 13 = 36.
On the fourth iteration of the loop, m > n evaluates to false, as 6 < 7 is not true.
The loop ends and the most recent value of x, 36, is output, so the correct answer is option D.
