Suppose that the input is 6 and console is a Scanner object initialized to the standard input device. Consider the following code. int alpha = 7; int beta = console.nextInt(); switch (beta) {case 5: alpha = alpha + 1; case 6: alpha = alpha + 2; case 7: alpha = alpha + 3; default: alpha = alpha + 5;} System.out.print(alpha); The output of this code is 9.
