How many times will the line marked // 1 be called in the following code?
int x = 10; do{ x--; System.out.println (x); // 1 }while (x<10);
Select 1 option
Correct Option is : E
A do-while loop is always executed at least once.
So in the first iteration, x is decremented and becomes 9.
Now the while condition is tested, which returns true because 9 is less than 10.
So the loop is executed again with x = 9.
In the loop, x is decremented to 8 and the condition is tested again, which again returns true because 8 is less than 10.
x keeps on decreasing by one in each iteration and every time the condition x< 10 returns true.
After x reaches -2147483648, which is its MIN_VALUE, it cannot decrease any further and at this time when x-- is executed, the value rolls over to 2 147483647, which is Integer.MAX_VALUE.
At this time, the condition x< 10 fails and the loop terminates.
