Lesson 4.7 · Trace it

Trace: param scope (Java)

Java code6 rows to fill2 marks

Complete the trace table for this Java code. [2]

Line 1: public static void main(String[] args) {
Line 2, indented 1 level: int value = 3;
Line 3, indented 1 level: int result = twice(value);
Line 4, indented 1 level: System.out.println(value);
Line 5, indented 1 level: System.out.println(result);
Line 6: }
Line 7:
Line 8: static int twice(int n) {
Line 9, indented 1 level: n = n * 2;
Line 10, indented 1 level: return n;
Line 11: }

Fill in one row each time a line changes value, n or result, or prints something. The table already has the right number of rows. In each row, write only what that line changes; you can leave the other cells empty or copy their values down. Write values the way Java shows them: 3 and 3.0 are different, and text goes in quotes. In the output column, write exactly what appears on screen, with no quotes around it.
