How many times are the following loop bodies repeated? What is the final output in each case?
int x = 2;
while (x < 20)
if (x % 2 == 0)
System.out.println(x);
Answer
The loop repeats for infinite times.

Working
The value of x is 2. The test condition of while loop — x < 20 is true and the test condition of if — x % 2 == 0 is also true. So the loop prints the value of x i.e., 2 for the first time.
In the absence of update expression, the while loop continues infinitely and keeps on printing 2 on the output screen.
