Are you sure of the code? Because actually the nested loop (the one with 'j' counter) is an infinite one, as j is incremented so will never be less or equal to zero, and alert() will never be executed ^^

By the way, i assume you meant to write "j--" in the for loop, or else you enter an infinite loop

10 The ++ before the variable first adds 1 to it, then use it for your purpose.. You nested 2 for loops, every each runs 3 times => 9 increments to the variable 'count'. Finally, you alert ++count, which means you first add 1 to it and only then alert it, so practically you alert 10
