If x is 10, where will the categorize function stop execution?

The categorize function will stop execution at the point where it encounters the return statement that accurately reflects the conditions set within the function's logic. In this case, with ( x ) being 10, the expression that evaluates to return ( x ) aligns with the flow of the function.

When the function checks conditions that lead to returning 100 or intuitively stop execution after the second if statement, they may not activate under the given input. The evaluate logic must be satisfied for those branches. If none of the earlier conditions for returning a definitive value before ( x ) is reached are met, the function execution will then reach the point where it returns ( x ). Thus, it effectively concludes there.

Therefore, because ( x ) equals 10 and that specific return statement is executed, the function halts at that return point, making it the definitive outcome based on the conditions set in the function.
