Answer 2

it still doesn't gives the answer 5?

Answer 3

or I say it gives same answer just the name of sting ,which I didn't needed anyway

Answer 4

Abhay, note the semicolon at the end of line 8, the for loop should terminate on that very line, otherwise, line 9 will be considered as loop body; if we don't have the semicolon at end of line 8.

Answer 5

woo thks 😄and all time I thought we don't terminate for Loop with semicolon!!

Answer 6

You're welcome Abhay. Also when we put semicolon at end of a loop it means we're creating a loop without a body, but the values in the loop initialization will still change, difference is just the loop doesn't have loop body : )
