Answer to question 10A-3

Answer to Question 10A-3

The condition in the second if statement is always true, since it is only reached when x is not 0. Just omit the redundant test.

  if(x == 0)
  {
    y = 1;
  }
  else
  {
    y = 2;
  }

This particular statement could also be replaced by

  y = (x == 0) ? 1 : 2;
