Java Code Analysis: For Loop Condition and Output

What is the result of executing the following Java code?

int i = 1;

for(i>5;i++){ 

...... 

}

System.out.println(i);

A. 4

B. 5

C. 6

D. Unable to compile

Answer: C. 6

Explanation:

The for loop condition i>5 is evaluated initially. Since i is 1, the condition is false. As the loop condition is false from the beginning, the code within the loop never executes. The value of i remains 1, but it's incremented by the loop's increment statement (i++) after the condition check. Therefore, the output is 6.

This demonstrates that the for loop's increment statement executes even if the loop condition is false initially.
