#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x;
for(x=-1; x<=10; x++)
{
if(x < 5)
continue;
else
break;

Since we use break statement it automatically comes out of the else loop, no matter whether it satisfies if condition or not,

Thanks to all of you.

Here for loop executes 06 times when control enters to loop untill i<5 continue keyword is executeddue to which it skips all the code below the continue regain increment the 'i' when i just reach the 5 else is executed and break keyword through the control just outside the loop in this way not printf statement is executed.

Since x is an integer it has a range from -32768 to +32767.Here x value is -1.x checks the condition x<=10 and enters into for loop and then checks that x<5.since it is true continue; statement executes and since no stmt's are there in if condition, it exits from if loop.
Then x gets incremented and goes as 0,1,2,3,4.It continues as above upto x=4.
when x=5, it goes to else condition and executes the stmt break;
finally coming out of the else condition and x gets incremented to 5,6,7,8,9,10.
Thus by not printing IndiaBIX.

If x is <5 ,if condition will executed, other 6 then loop process is terminated, then return 0 will occur,then final result get 0 times loop occur

Till x is < 5, the if condition is satisfied and continue is encountered so the loop continue execution without executing the following statements. and when the value of x becomes 5, break is encountered and the control is transferred outside the loop. So 'IndiaBix' will not be printed even once.

The value of x starts from -1 and is incremented everytime till x<5. becux the continue statement sends the control back to increment process. And once the value of x reachs 5 it executes else part, which is break statement, break statement terminates loop. This means the control will never encounter printf statement. Hence no 'IndiaBix' will be printed.

Basically x is initialized with -1. As x<5 (since x is -1) it will came with continue statement.
Continue means "stop the current iteration and go to the next iteration". So x becomes 0 now. This will be happened until x becomes 5. Now if x=5, it will enter the else part where it encounters break statement, as a result it will come out of for loop. As a result it will not go to printf statement. So IndiaBIX will be printed 0 times.
