How does i = i + 1 works after print code?

Question

As much as I know the code runs downwards but how does "i = i + 1" continue to loop after print(i) code executed? Shouldn't it stop at "1"?

Answer 1

i = 1
while i <=5:
print(i ,"code shouldn't stop here ?")
if i <=5:
i +=1
print("Finished")

Answer 2

I would need to see more of your code in context. But your right in saying that i = i + 1 should only be executed once. Unless you have this in an looping function?

Answer 3

I am talking about original code in here:

i = 1
while i <=5:
print(i)[code shouldn't stop here?]
i = i + 1

print("Finished!")

Answer 4

Ok so as I said before, this is in a While Loop. This means that "while" the integer "i" is smaller than 5, the code inside the while loop will continue to execute line by line. This means that the line "i = i + 1" the first time around will be come "i = 1 + 1" which is 2. Therefore i = 2 now. The second time around the line is now "i = 2 + 1" meaning the "i" is now equal to 3 and so on and so forth. The value of "i" is stored and saved each time

Answer 5

got it. so code goes back to print line after (i = i + 1) in while thanks very much
