it says: "as long as x<6, increment x". so when x=5, the while condition is still true, so x is incremented to 6. then, as x=6 the while condition becomes false and the loop stops. after the loop, document.write(x) prints the value of x, which is 6.

The code provided by you, will work in this manner, the loop will start from 0 and each time it will be increment because the statement given is true. When the loop will reach 5 < 6. It will be incremented for a last time making its value 6. 6 can't be greater than 6 therefore the statement will become false and it will stop the loop. The value of x will be 6.

to print all values up to 6 (excluding 6): while (x<6){ document.write(x); x++; }

Donna that means for all the conditions that are true only the last to the false will be printed right
