What will be the output of the program? class Test { public static void main(String [] args) { int x= 0; int y= 0; for (int z = 0; z < 5; z++) { if (( ++x > 2 ) || (++y > 2)) { x++; } } System.out.println(x + " " + y); } }

Correct Answer: 8 2

Explanation:

The first two iterations of the for loop both x and y are incremented. On the third iteration x is incremented, and for the first time becomes greater than 2. The short circuit or operator || keeps y from ever being incremented again and x is incremented twice on each of the last three iterations.
