Question 136 of 498
PCEP Control Flow, Loops, Lists and Logic Practice Question
Exhibit
count = 0
while count < 5:
count += 1
if count == 3:
continue
print(count, end=' ')What is the output of the following code?
for i in range(1, 6):
if i == 3:continue
print(i, end=' ')
⚠ Common exam trap
Python Institute often tests the `continue` statement by making candidates forget that it only skips the current iteration, not the entire loop, leading them to incorrectly omit subsequent values or include the skipped value.
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
✓
1 2 4 5
The code uses a for loop with range(1, 6) and a continue statement when i == 3. When i equals 3, the continue skips the print(i, end=' ') statement, so 3 is not printed. The loop iterates through 1, 2, 4, and 5, producing the output '1 2 4 5'.
