Why is the answer 17?

Question

int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
if (i == 3) {
result += 10;
} else {
result += i;
}
}
System.out.println(result);
Can someone please explain to me why the answer is 17?

Answer 1

Because the loop run through the i values as:
0-1-2-3-4
Every i loop value will added to the result variable because of the += operator.
And when the i value is equal to 3 the result value will be added with 10 not 3
So the calculation would be as
0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 10 + 4
The sum is equal to 17
