How many times "IndiaBIX" is get printed?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x;
for(x=-1; x<=10; x++)

The value of X is -1 so again and again to execute the loop to increase the value in X is minus value so infinte times to execute the loop.

Here look at the program 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.so that the ans c is rite

Good answer srinivasa.

Continue is for break current iteration. So that it gets increments and avoids the further steps and break is for break current loop. Therefore the loop is terminated.

for (x<5) five times the control will go t starting of loop due to continue. And after for the else condition the break occurs so control will go out of loop so there wont be any printing

if(x<5) this condition is true then continue keyword go to next iteration of for loop so loop is execute till (-1 to 4)6th iteration . In 7th iteration x=5 so if the condition(x<5) is false then the break keyword is executed (i.e) break keyword is used to jump out of the for loop . The result is 0 times.

continue: go back the control to starting of the loop
break: terminate the execution of the loop
if(i<5) that the values are (-1,1,2,3,4) then control back to loop
else tat is i=5 then terminate the execution
So nothing to be printed.
break: terminate the execution of the loop

Giving that if x<5 after that we used continue , it means it performs operation from next line it self after that there is a break statement when compiler performs break it it is out of loop so INDIABIX is not printed.
