The code will compile without errors. However, the if statement is using the assignment operator = instead of the comparison operator ==. This means that the statement within the parentheses will always be true, since it is setting the value of a to be equal to b. Therefore, the block of code within the if statement will always be executed, causing result to be multiplied by 2, resulting in a value of 20.
