Q10

What will be the output of the following code: for (int i = 5; i >= 0; --i) cout << i << " "; if (i == 3) break; in C++?

A.
Compilation error
B.
5 4 3
Answer
C.
5 4 3 2 1 0
D.
5 4 3 0 1

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The given code is a for loop in C++:

for (int i = 5; i >= 0; --i) {
    cout << i << " ";
    if (i == 3) break;
}

This loop initializes i to 5 and decrements it in each iteration until i becomes less than 0.

On each iteration, it prints the current value of i followed by a space.

When i becomes 3, the if condition becomes true and the break statement terminates the loop.

Therefore, the values printed are: 5 4 3

No further values (like 2, 1, 0) are printed because the loop exits when i == 3.

Hence, the correct output is: 5 4 3
