Do While Output Based Question(Query)

Question

Here's a code fragment:

int x=3, y= 10;
do{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x+y);
x= x+1;
y= y-2;
} while (x<=y);

System.out.println("x=" + x);

The question is how many times the loop will execute and what will be the output? I know that the loop will execute 3 times (13,12,11) and x= 16. My query is how is x=16? Can anyone briefly explain to me how x will be 16?

Thanks alot in advance.

Answer 1

@Gaurav is right.
Super checked!!

Answer 2

1st loop) x=3 , y=10 [true]
2nd loop)x=4 , y=8 [true]
3rd loop) x=5, y=6 [now x+1 will not be <= y-2 ... ie 6 is not <=4]
//loop stops
so x will be 6 , y will be 4 & loop runs 3 times

/* x will be 6 , not 16 ... might u read 16 as 1 from 11 & 6 from x */
//hope it helps ☺
