break and continue

Question

Why does this code not show "5" at the end? The "if (num == 5)" statement should make it loop till it's even with 5. I'm not getting this. Can someone assist w/this example please? Thanks.

int num = 0;
while (num < 20)
{
if (num == 5)
break;

Console.WriteLine(num);
num++;
}

/* Outputs:
0
1
2
3
4
*/

Answer 1

If you put WriteLine before the if clause, the number 5 will be shown. ;)

Answer 2

when it found the num ==5 then it find break and it will stop
good luck

Answer 3

Thank you Jamie and Abdurrahman. I believe I have it now.I was in the mindset of "if (num > 5)" then stop (break).

Answer 4

you break the statement num before output and it should be shows below then 20
