How the output is 26???

Question

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x=1;
for(;x<6;x++)
x*=x;
System.out.printf("%d",x);
}
}

Answer 1

I'll try breaking down the process that the code is run -
1. An int x is initialized with a value of 1
2. A for loop is entered
3. The second condition returns true (x is less than 6), resulting in the statements to be run within it
4. x gets multiplied by itself
5. x increments
6. x now equals 2 (1 * 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2)
7. x is still less than 6
8. x gets multiplied by itself
9. x increments
10. x now equals 5 (2 * 2 = 4, 4 + 1 = 5)
11. x is still less than 6
12. x gets multiplied by itself
13. x increments
14. x now equals 26 (5 * 5 = 25, 25 + 1 = 6)
15. x is now not less than 6
16. The value of x is printed

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

1 * 1 = 1
1+ 1 = 2
2 * 2 = 4
4 + 1 = 5
5 * 5 = 25
25 + 1 = 26
