How the while loop is getting executed ???

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int num = 1; int number; int total = 0; while (num <= 5) { cin >> number; total += number; num++; } cout << total << endl; return 0; }

before while loop begins num=1; total=0; In while, for each loop user inputs the number and it gets added to total. i.e total =total+number; for each loop num increases by 1 when num= 6,while loop stops executing the value of total is printed

'while' begin with num=1 and it is executed, increasing num. When num is 6 then while finish

@Shadab your explanation is more completed but is bad. While not stop for num=5 because condition is num<=5 so stop by num=6
