Can someone pls explain this code to me. While does it print an infinite loop of 4.

Question

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 1;

while(x < 5) {
System.out.println(x);
if(x == 4) {
continue ;
}
x++;
}
}
}

Answer 1

It's an infinite loop. It displays 1, 2, 3 and then as many as possible 4s. This is because the 'if(x == 4)' condition will be true when x is 4 then it continues meaning it stops the current iteration and loops again avoiding the 'x++' which would stop the infinite loop from happening.

Answer 2

We declare an int variable x, value 1;
While 5 is greater than x, print x.

Answer 3

Thanks

Answer 4

When the x value is 4, the continue statement says to go to the next iteration and because there is no an increment to the x, through the x++, then the 4 <5 condition will be true and an infinite loop of 4.
