Write a method called min that takes three integers as parameters and returns the smallest of the three values; for example, a call of min(3,–2, 7) would return 22, and a call of min(19, 27, 6) would return 6. Use Math.min to write your solution.
Consider the following method: public static void mystery2(int n) { if (n > 100) { System.out.print(n); } else { mystery2(2 * n); System.out.print(", " + n); } } For each of the following calls, indicate the output that is produced by the method: a. mystery2(113); b. mystery2(70); c. mystery2(42); d. mystery2(30); e. mystery2(10);

public double testing ( ) {
double a = 9.5 + 9.3;
return a;
}
