Answer :
After executing the statement given in the questions, the value of x is 2.
You can execute the given code in the question in any programming lanaguages. This program has switch statement
We executed the given code in C++, after executing the given code the value of x is 2.
The code is given below, and each line of code is commented that tells what does it mean.
#include <iostream>/* preprocessor directive , it includes the required library in the program*/
int main() // main entry of a program
{
int x = 5; // integer variable x that stores 5 as a value in it
switch(x) /*switch statement is a selection statement that evaluate each statement against the expression, if case will match, then the case body will get execute, if found break, then the program will be terminated */
{ case 5: //case 5 means, if x is equal to 5.
x = 2; //then assign 2 to x.
break;// break the program
case 6: // if x is 6
x ;//then the value of x will be retained i.e. 5
break; // then terminate the program
default: // if the above expression or case don't match
x *= 2;//then value of x will be 10 i.e. x=x*10.
break;// terminate the program
}
std::cout << x;// this statement will print the value of x.
return 0;
}// program closing body.
after executing the above program, the value of x is 2.
