Given the code fragment: ``java int i = 0; do { i++; } while (i < 0); System.out.println("Out of limits"); `` What is the result?

Question

int i = 0;
do {
 i++;
} while (i < 0);
System.out.println("Out of limits");

Options

• AHElloJavA!
• BHello java!
• COut of limits
• DHElloJavA!
• EOut of limits

• A
  10% (3)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  79% (23)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because a do-while loop always executes its body at least once before evaluating the condition. Here, i starts at 0, the body runs and increments i to 1, then the condition i < 0 evaluates to false (since 1 is not less than 0), so the loop exits immediately and System.out.println("Out of limits") executes.

Options A, B, and D are wrong because the strings "HElloJavA!" and "Hello java!" appear nowhere in the code - they are pure distractors with no basis in this fragment. Option E appears identical to C in wording, but is likely intended to represent a scenario where the loop never terminates or the print is never reached - which doesn't happen here because the condition fails after just one iteration.

Memory tip: Think of do-while as "do it then ask permission" - the body always runs once no matter what. If this were a regular while loop instead, i < 0 would be checked first (false immediately), the loop would be skipped entirely, and the output would still be "Out of limits" - so the print always fires either way in this specific example.
