Is this a wrong quiz?

Question

One user challenged me and I came across this quiz:

How many times will the following loop run?
$i=5;
while($i<10) {
if($i%4==0)
break;
$i++;
}

The right answer is 3. Could you explain me why?
I thought the answer would be 4. The condition of the loop was true 4 times.
What do you think?

Answer 1

Report it.
The question was asked very badly.

Yes you are right the loop runs 4 times.
And 3 is the number of completed iterations.

The question should be something like "How often will the loop complete an iteration"

Answer 2

Same here! I was vastly disappointed that such questions are _approved_! Quality of quizzes/challenges are dropped down after a lot of new questions were added. Some are nearly irrelevant to languages, some are bad worded, some are even wrong and some ... are nearly stupid IMHO. :-( Update: Just checked out a screenshot of that question that I made after I was shocked with answer. There is no author mentioned. If it means that such question are made by SL... It's horrifying.) 😥
If this loop will run 3 times than which one it will break from? :-)

Answer 3

will run for 5,6,7 & 8, so are 4 times
