Answer 3

Makes loads of sense!! Great thanks there!

Answer 4

You can run it in your code playground

Answer 5

david chongo lol i thought you were lazy to run the code.
Then the explanation:
This is basically and infinite loop (see the 2nd statement. It is always true. So the loop will continue without breaking).

While it was running it increases x by 1. And inside the loop there is an if condition which checks whether x is in the range of 6 and 7.

During.the loop x eventually become 6. So the statements inside the loop start to work. It 1st write 6 inside the body and then break the infinte loop.

Hope you get it.
