1Z0-811 Java Basics and Syntax Practice Question

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
public class LoopTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            if (i % 2 == 0) {
                continue;
            }
            count++;
        }
        System.out.println(count);
    }
}

What is the value printed?

⚠ Common exam trap

Oracle often tests the off-by-one error where candidates miscount loop iterations or confuse the final value of the loop variable with the sum, leading them to pick 3 (the value after the loop exits) instead of 2 (the value when the condition fails).

Answer choices

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

2

The while loop condition is `x < 2`, so the loop executes while x is less than 2. Initially x=0. In the first iteration, x becomes 1; in the second, x becomes 2. After the second iteration, x=2, the condition `2 < 2` is false, so the loop stops. The code prints the value of x, which is 2 after the loop exits.
