### Transcription and Explanation for Educational Use

#### Function Description

This code snippet defines a method called `retVal` that takes two integer parameters, `a` and `b`, and returns an integer value `c`. The logic within the function is as follows:

- If `a` is greater than `b`, set `c` to `a`.
- Else if `b` is divisible by `a` with no remainder, set `c` to `b`.
- Otherwise, compute `c` as `b + (a - (b % a))`.

The function returns the value of `c`.

#### Arguments Passed

Various calls to the method `retVal` are provided with specific arguments:

a. `retVal(4, 2)`
b. `retVal(5, 4)`
c. `retVal(5, 13)`
d. `retVal(x, y)`
e. `retVal(m, n)`

#### Outputs

For each call, the method returns and displays the following values:

a. 4
b. 5
c. 15
d. 20
e. 8

#### Problem Statement

Determine the values for `x`, `y`, `m`, and `n` that result in outputs 20 and 8, respectively.

#### Explanation

- In call **d** (`retVal(x, y) = 20`), the logical deduction using the function's rules could be pairs like `(15, 5)` since `b + (a - (b % a))` would evaluate to 20.
  
- In call **e** (`retVal(m, n) = 8`), a possible pair might be `(4, 8)` since `b % a == 0` leading to `c = b`.

This transcription should help readers understand how the function works and how the provided test cases correspond to the given outputs.
