after 1st loop ) x will be 4 after 2nd loop) x will be 5 6 as final value of x [5++ is not < 5 so loop stops & x become 6]

Twice x will be 2 and 5 at the if statement and 6 after exiting the loop.

Just add code to show you how many times it loops if you're having a hard time understanding. https://code.sololearn.com/c1yx4mJ7eQ47/?ref=app
