The code will display the following on the screen:-

2

0

2

Explanation:

The output is like this because x{2} assigns the value 2 to the integer x. First the value of x is printed on the screen that is 2 and that newline is used to go to the next line. After that function is called doSomething with x passed as the argument. doSomething function assigns the value zero to the variable passed and prints it on the screen. So the next line is 0. Since x is passed by value so no changes will appear in the original argument. Hence the last line printed is 2.
