Its resulting in an infinte loop...why so? can we use ternary operator in increment part?

Question

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int x=0; x<=10; x=(x<5)?x+2:x++) {
System.out.println(x);
}
}
}

Answer 1

yes, you can use ternary operator there
replace 'x++' by '++x' there to make it a finite loop as after crossing 5, x=x++ which is equivalent to x=x only resulting in infinite loop.
