Answer:

int count = 1;              // count is initialized
while ( count <= 3 )        // count is tested
{
  System.out.println( "count is:" + count );
  count = count + 1;        // count is changed
}
System.out.println( "Done with the loop" );      

Three Activities to Coordinate

Three activities of a loop must work together:

  1. The initial values must be set up correctly.
  2. The condition in the while statement must be correct.
  3. The change in variable(s) must be done correctly.

In the above program we wanted to print the integers "1, 2, 3". Three parts of the program had to be coordinated for this to work correctly.


QUESTION 7:

What will the program print if the initialization is changed as follows?

int count = 0;               // count is initialized
while ( count <= 3 )         // count is tested
{
  System.out.println( "count is:" + count );
  count = count + 1;         // count is changed
}
System.out.println( "Done with the loop" );
