Thread: Question on While Loops

Hi there, I'm an absolute beginner on Java. I wrote the following piece of code. I ran it and it gives the output as 1.
Since 1 is not greater than 10, it should NOT execute the println at all. But why value i is printed. Can someone explain me why?


public class While_Loop {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int i=1;

while (i>10);
{
System.out.println(i);
i=i+1;
}

}

}

you have a semicolon after the while loop. You need to take it away.

remove semi colon ...

Like they said, you gotta remove the semicolon. But even when you do that, your code will probably not have the result you intended. It should go from printing out the number "1" to having no output at all. Think about the value of i and the condition in your loop.
