initially we declare the result variable =0 then the for loop starts with int i=0 0<5 so it increments i by I++ then i becomes 1 then inside the loop it checks for the if condition now I=0 which is not equal to 3 then goes to else statement where result +=i means result =result +i now the result value is 0+1=1. like this it goes working on loop upto 4 which is less than 5 for only I=3 the if condition is true then the result +=10 is use so the ans becomes 0+0=0,when I=0 0+1=1,when I=1 1+2=3,when I=2 3+10=13 ,where I=3 tis operation takes place 13+4=17,when I=4. I hope this will help u

you must debug the algorithm. the for is going to enter 5 times (0,1,2,3,4), when i is equal to 5, don't enter in the for loop. the result variable start in 0, after that add 10 to de variable "result" just one time (when i is equal to 3), the others times add 0, 1, 2 and 4 (seven in total). the final add is: result + 0 = 0, result + 1 = 1, result + 2 = 3, result + 3 = 13, result + 4 = 17. I don't know if is clear.
