You start the loop with i = 0 The first thing that happens is you increment i i = i + 1 or i = 1 now you test if i (or 1) equals 2 No so you try the same with 5 And no again Now you print i Output: 1 Loop around and start with a increment i = 1 + 1 or i = 2 test if i (or 2) equals 2 Output: "Skipping 2" Yes skip all code and start again Now i = 3 You test if i equals 2 or 5 and both say no so you just print i and go on Output: 3 4 And now the 5th iteration starts and you test if i (or 5) equals 5 Yes so print Output: "Breaking" And stop the loop And at last print Output: "Finished"
