1Z0-811 Control Flow and Loops Practice Question

Exhibit

int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    count++;
    if (i == 1) continue;
    count++;
}
System.out.println(count);

Refer to the exhibit. What is the output?

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The loop iterates i=0,1,2. For i=0: count becomes 1, then 2. For i=1: count becomes 3, continue skips second increment, so count stays 3. For i=2: count becomes 4, then 5. Output is 5.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
3
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect calculation.
✗
6
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect; would be 6 if continue didn't skip the increment.
✗
4
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect; the continue at i=1 prevents one increment, but not enough to result in 4.
✓
5
Why this is correct
The output '5' arises from correctly evaluating the `length` property of the array presented in the exhibit. Java arrays provide a public `length` field, not a method, which precisely indicates the total number of elements they can hold. This scenario tests the fundamental understanding of array instantiation and how to determine its size, satisfying the constraint of correctly accessing array properties.
