Answer 1

If is a conditional statement. It runs the code only once while while is a loop and it would keep running till the condition is met.

Answer 2

Because you didn't print i after increasing it

Answer 3

But why do I get 1 why don't I get 2 ( i + 1 == 2)

Answer 4

Ifham Khwaja because you print the value of i before increasing its value.
If you have to print 2 use print statement after increasing the value of i....

i=1
if i<=5:
i+=1
print(i)
print('Finished!')
