The function keeps up adding one to the number until it reaches five and thus it returns five as the output.

Beamlak Amare , the while loop runs until false condition is met. When the value becomes 5 the loop stops and the function returns the value which is shown in the alert box.

Beamlak Amare , the last step is when x is 4 => 4 < 5 is true, x is increased and becomes 5. But 5 < 5 is false => the loop stops.
