Python Coding Challange - Question With Answer(01050325)

 

Explanation:

1. The variable num is initialized with the value 1.
2. The while loop checks the condition num < 5. Since 1 < 5 is True, the loop executes.
3. Inside the loop, print(num) prints the current value of num.
4. However, there is no statement to increment num, meaning num always remains 1.
5. Since 1 < 5 is always True, the loop never stops and results in an infinite loop.

Output (Infinite Loop):

plaintext
1
1
1
1
...

(The loop will continue printing 1 forever.)

How to Fix It?

To ensure the loop terminates correctly, we should increment num inside the loop:

num = 1
while num < 5:
    print(num) 
    num += 1 # Increment num

Correct Output:

1
2
3
4

Now, the loop stops when num becomes 5, as 5 < 5 is False.
