60
Working
This table shows the change in values of i and k as while loop iterates:
i | k | Remarks |
---|---|---|
2 | 1 | Initial values |
3 | 3 | 1st Iteration |
4 | 12 | 2nd Iteration |
5 | 60 | 3rd Iteration |
6 | 60 | Once i becomes 6, condition is false and loop stops iterating. |
Notice that System.out.println(k);
is not inside while loop. As there are no curly braces so only the statement k *= i;
is inside the loop. The statement System.out.println(k);
is outside the while loop, it is executed once and prints value of k which is 60 to the console.
