how the answer will be 5 can anyone explain?

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int x=1; while(x++<=1) while(x++<=2); printf("%d",x); return 0; }

Why semicolon 👉🏻 while(x++<=2); ?? Try it without semicolon you will get output 3

https://code.sololearn.com/cmxq29mPRD0W/?ref=app /* line7: x=1 line8: while(x++<=1) //true as 1<=1 function of x++(post increment operator) first use then increase so value of x=1 will be used in this loop then increment will take place now x=2 line9: while(x++<=2); //true as 2<=2 again post increment will work so now x=3 now it will again check while(x++<=2); //false as 3<=2 is false but again post increment will work so now x=4 so now compiler will jump to line8 as statement in line9 failed line8: while(x++<=1) //false as 4<=1 is false again post increment will work so x=5 now compiler will jump to line11 line11: printf("&d",x); // 5 so 5 is your output hope you understood... comment back for any other query */

When we enter the 1st loop the x will become 2 after the test and it will test on the second loop 2==2 so it's true and it's gonna increment then gonna check again the second loop but this time it's gonna be false but even though it's gonna increment now x=4 test the wrapping loop and increment x=5 and done, the problem was in the way this increment works inside loops even if it's not true it is going to increment whether the test true or false
