D) someMethod (2) = 64

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When someMethod(2) is called, it will enter the else block since 2 is not greater than 10. It will then call someMethod(4*2) which is equivalent to someMethod(8). This will again enter the else block and call someMethod(4*8) which is equivalent to someMethod(32). Finally, it will hit the if block because 32 is greater than 10 and set the result to 32. Therefore, the output will be "someMethod(2) = 32".
