How many times the loop below will be executed? What is the value of counter after the loop?

int counter = 0;

while (counter<5)

{

++counter; }

MessageBox.Show(counter.ToString());

Solution

The loop will execute 5 times

Why?

when counter is 0 . it enters the loop and runs the code after counter incremented to 1.

counter is 1 . it enters the loop and runs the code after counter incremented to 2.

counter is 2 . it enters the loop and runs the code after counter incremented to 3.

counter is 3 . it enters the loop and runs the code after counter incremented to 4.

counter is 4 . it enters the loop and runs the code after counter incremented to 5

counter is 5 . it breaks the loop and exist the counter values is 5
