C# postfix in do while loop 🤕🤕 Help plz!

Question

int i =1 , j=5 ;
do
{
Console.WriteLine(i=i++*j);
}while (i<=10);
I am really confused with this question why the output equals 5,25 not 5,30 ?!
Why it doesn’t increment i ?

Answer 1

When i = 1
i = i++ * j
-> i = 1 * 5
-> 5

Is i <= 10? Yes, continue.

i = i++ * j
-> i = 5 * 5
-> 25
Is i <= 10? No, loop ends.

Answer 2

Nada Hossam ah yeah, but you were only doing with i variable as I observed your code, you didn't do the same thing in j to get 6 * 5.
sooo, here's the solution, which I fixed it by putting an increment to j.

Answer 3

but why it doesn’t increment i to be 6 * 5 ?? as a postfix it won’t change in the same line and then it should be incremented by 1 in the next line , isn’t true ?

Answer 4

try putting the increment statement outside of the writine for clearance

Answer 5
