The discussion revolves around determining the value of x after evaluating three conditional statements in a computer program, starting with x=2. The first statement evaluates to false, so x remains 2. The second statement evaluates to true due to the first condition in the OR being true, resulting in x being incremented to 3. The third statement evaluates to false, leaving x unchanged. Ultimately, the final value of x after processing all statements is 3.

Hi Folks,
I am stack with following task:What is the value of x after each of these statements is encountered in a
computer program if x=2 before the statement is reached?

(i) if (6+2=9) then x:=x+1 .
(ii) if ((3+2=5) OR (2+3=3))then x:=x+1 .
(iii) if ((12+4=17) AND (4+5=9)) then x:=x+1.

Note 1 OR is ∨ AND is ^
Note 2 := is an assignment sign.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Is the IF part of i) true?
Is the IF part of ii) true?
Is the IF part of iii) true?

(i) false
(ii) false
(III) false

(i) false
(ii) false
(III) false

(ii) is incorrect. The first part of the OR is true, making the entire OR true. So, which THEN parts will execute?
 
tell me please the answer is 3:)
