How many times "IndiaBIX" is get printed?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int x;
    for(x=-1; x<=10; x++)
    {
        if(x < 5)
            continue;
        else
            break;
        printf("IndiaBIX");
    }
    return 0;
}

The condition x<5 is true until x=5, so the true block executed. The code after the continue statement(including printf("IndiaBIX");) will not executed and go to increment step(x++). Again the loop is continued.

When x=5, then else block executed, it has break statement, So loop is terminated.

Here the control never go to printf("IndiaBIX"); statement.

The continue statement transfers the control to the next iteration in the loop (increment step).

The first condition is x<5, that's why loop will continue and keep incrementing value of x until x=5.

When x=5 then condition will go to else part and since break statement is there it will come out of loop.

So, it is not going to print "IndiaBIX".

Thank you Sandeep.

Ya after the continue and break stmts nxt part o code z nt xcuted n goes to iteration, for that der z no output.

Untill x<5 the 'if' part gets executed,which contains the 'continue' statement and it simply transfers the control to the begining of the loop iteratively for 6 times....


and now x=5 the control passes to the else part which contains the 'break' statement before printf and hence the loop gets terminated before printing "indiabix"

The value of x is nt declared before the for loop, so it will not enter the loop and program will exit....

It prints 0 times because
unit x<5 the 'if' part gets executed,which contains the 'continue' statement and it simply transfers the control to the begining of the loop iteratively for 6 times....

The continue statement transfers the control to the next iteration in the loop
