Problem Statement:
The following code snippet contains some conditional (nested if else /else if based) statements. Which are
difficult to understand as they do not contain any starting or ending keywords against each statement. You,
being a programming language expert, are required to put "then" and "end if/else/else if" at appropriate
places to get the desired result.

Code Snippet:
At start, x contains 100 (i.e. x = 100)

if (x > 50)
x = x * 5;
}if (x > 200){
x = x - 200;
}if (x > 350){
x = x - 150;
}else{
x = x + 150;
}
if (x > 400){
x = x - 150;
}if (x < 500){
x = x + 150;
}if (x == 500){
x = x + 200;
}else if (x > 400){
x = x - 100;
}else if (x < 650){
x = x + 100;
}else{
x = x * 5;
}

At end, x contains 350.

Note:
This is a language-free code, which does not require any specific programming language to compile or
execute. You are simply required to guess the flow of execution on the basis of value of x and put "then" and
"end if/else/else if" at appropriate places (see the hint given below). Furthermore, you can also add extra
lines or spaces in your solution as well.

Hint:

Difficult to Understand Easily Understandable

if (a > b){ if (a > b){ then

b = 5 b = 5
}else if(a < b){ end if
a = 5 }else if(a < b){then
}else a = 5
a = b end else if
}else then
a = b
end else
