While Loop Simulation
For each call below to the following method, write the output that is produced, as it would appear on the console:
public static void mystery(int x, int y) {
int s = 0;
while (x > 0 && 2 * y >= x) {
System.out.print(s + " ");
y = y - x;
x--;
s = s + x;
}
System.out.println(s);
}
$\begin{array}{l}\underline{ \text { Method Call } }& \underline{ \text { Output }} \\\text { mystery }(-2,-6) ; & \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \\\text { mystery }(2,3) ; & \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }}\\\text { mystery }(4,8) ; & \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }}\\\text { mystery }(5,40) ; & \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \\\text { mystery }(10,31) ; & \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \underline{ \text { }} \end{array}$
