java – doubt in for loop – Education Career Blog

by

i have the following code

public static void main(String args) {
  int x=0;
  int y=0;
  for(int z=0;z<5;z++)
    if((++x>2)||(++y>2))
      x++;

  System.out.println(x+" "+y);

}

For this the output is 8 2

public static void main(String args) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  int x=0;
  int y=0;
  for(int z=0;z<5;z++){
    if((++x>2)||(++y>2))
      x++;

    System.out.println(x+" "+y);
  } 
}

i can understand the second code that it prints everytime till the loop completes.
For the first code
when x becomes 3 in the if loop value will be incremented to 4 and after that what well happen will it go to sop or to for loop to complete the loop?

i editet you entry because you missed to mak your code as such… after reading the question, i think you should see the answer yourself if you look at how it’s indented.

for the future: use curly braces every time, not just if there is more than one line in the block, otherwise you will only get confused.

The for loop is controlled by the value of z, the value of x has no bearing on when the loop stops.
