CODE #1:
i=0
while 1==1:
print(i)
i=i+1
if i>=5:
print("Breaking")
break
------
I understand that i=0 and i will only be printed if 1=1
The results of this is
0
1
2
3
4
Breaking
Why is Breaking going to be printed if i only goes up to 4? It does say if i>=5? Shouldn't this mean that the results should be:
0
1
2
3
4
5
CODE #2:
i=0
while True:
i=i+1
if i==2:
print("Skipping 2")
continue
if i==5:
print("Breaking")
break
print(i)
------
Questions:
1. what does the word True have to do with anything here?
2. i=i+1- I never understand this. Why isn't it i=i+2?
3. Do the results not include 2 of 5 because we wrote if i==2 and if i==5?
4. How is i equal to 2 or 5 if i=0?
Thanks for all of your help!
