Refer to the following method.

public static int mystery(int n)
{
if (n == 1)
return 3;
else
return 3 * mystery(n - 1);
}

What value does mystery(1) return?

If a, b, and c are integers, which of the following conditions is sufficient to guarantee that the expression

a < c || a < b && !(a == c)

evaluates to true?

When will the result be equal to 3?

public static int whatIsIt(int x, int y)
{
int result = 0;
if (x > y)
result = 4;
else
result = 3;

return result;
}
