    Default While (logical confusing output)

      public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            int sum = 0; int number = 0;
     
            while (number <= 10) {
     
                sum = sum + number;
                number = number + 1;
            }
     
            System.out.println(sum);
            System.out.println(number);

    Sum is essentially 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55 (for each pass through the loop: 0+0, 0+1, 1+2, 3+3, 6+4, 10+5, etc....), and the final setting for 'number' is 10+1 = 11.

    it doesnt mathematically added?

    it just simply concatenate? 5 and 5?

    sori for using the word Concatenate... because its not string...

    what i mean is... it doesnt add.. it just display the value 5 together with another 5...
