i starts at 0, k starts at 6. Then: -i=0, k becomed 6+0.5=6.5. On next loops: -i=1, k=7 -i=2,k=7.5 -..... -i=11,k=12 -i=12. At this point, i is no longer smaller than k, so the loop exits. Here is the full list of i and k values for the duration of the program: 0; 6.5 1; 7 2; 7.5 3; 8 4; 8.5 5; 9 6; 9.5 7; 10 8; 10.5 9; 11 10; 11.5 11; 12 12

Let's start with the k first. if you remove the k+=0.5 you'll only get k=i. But because you are increasing K with 0.5 each round it will go something like this: K: 6 6.5 7 7.5 etc. The Boolean statement i < k it means that everytime i increases with one k will increase with 12 So by the time i >= k both will be 12
