continue will transfer control back to loop statement for i = -1 to 4 since it satisfies condition if (i<5), for i=5 it will satisfy condition in the else part i.e.(!(i<5)) control will go to break statement and break statement will stop executing loop and will come out of loop and will not print indiabix

Hai,
The keyword 'continue' is used to skip the some statements and continuing the current process. In our programm till the x=5 it continuing the process once it's reached to 5 if condition getting false so else block will be execute but in else block we had break statement, so it breaks the loop and it will never go to print the indiabix so answer is 0 times.

Thanks fellas.
Actually I missed to notice that 'printf' is within 'for loop', and made mistake.

Here inside the program x is < 5, the "if" condition is true and continue is encountered so the loop continue inside 'for' execution without executing the following statements. and when the value of x becomes 5, 'break' is executed and the 'for' loop will be terminated , So 'IndiaBix' will not be printed even once because 'printf' will never executed.
