Consider the following C++ function. 
int mystery(int num1, int num2)
{
if (num1 > 0)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= num1; i++)
num2 = num2 * i;
return num2;
}
else if (num2 > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= num2; i++)
num1 = num1 + i;
return num1;
}
return 0;
}
What is the output of the following statements?
a. cout << mystery(4, -5) << endl;
b. cout << mystery(-8, 9) << endl;
c. cout << mystery(2, 3) << endl;
d. cout << mystery(-2, -4) << endl;
