In that question a, b, c, and d represent initialize, condition, increment/decrements, and statement, respectively. You've shown the same thing in your while loop. All I was asking you to do is match up which of z, y, x, and w were initialize, condition, increment/decrements, and statement?
I'll accept that you've got that basic concept in your head.
now if we look at this:
Can you figure out what the output will be BEFORE you execute the program?
Why?
I want the answer in words written by you, not as a program with sample output. The former should show understanding, the latter only shows that you can compile and run a program. (remember my car example).
