Answer 1

hey man see and understand the flow of code. first it is printing orginal value of x (1) and then it does increment by two postfix that means (3) then it checks condition wheather it is greater than 5 it means noo then it again goes up and increment two timess and now it retains 5 that means x = 5 now it again goes up and increment and now it becomes 7 it means it is greater than 5 so it breaks and return it will not print 7 and while loop gets false..
