(Java) While loop, with break

https://code.sololearn.com/cY8lfb9crYg8/?ref=app why the last statement is “exit loop at x = 5”, not x = 4? does it mean that when break, System.out.print(x) is not print, but x++; is executed?

Loop will get break only when the value of x will be 5. Since loop gets break at x = 5 so the value in the variable x gets printed.

Becuase you break out of the while loop when x equals 5 and then the program executes the next print statement outside the body of the while loop it works the way i expected. you should change your if statement to look like this if(x==5){break;}

"If x==5"..it stops,so x will have the value 5 after exiting the loop
