Could someone explain this to me?

So I'm taking a programming class for first year Engineering. We're coding in C#. I'm understanding everything pretty much perfectly, doing really well. But we had a quiz a few days ago and I got this question wrong. Even after looking over it again and again, I don't understand what I did wrong.

What value does count hold when the following code fragment is done executing?

Code (Text):

1. int count = 0;
2. int i = 0;
3. while (i <= 5)
4. {
5.    i = i + 1;
6.    int j = 0;
7.    while (j <= 3)
8.    {
9.       count = count + 1;
10.       j = j + 1;
11.    }
12. }
13.  

 

Ewww, C#... But prejudice aside...

I think the answer is 24. The first while loop executes 6 times (i = 0... 5) and the inside while loop executes 4 times (j = 0... 3). Therefore the "count=count+1" statement is executed a grand total of 24 times.

 

I'm supporting Zer0 with this answer.
Unless I'm missing something cause it's coded in C#

 

are you going to like...use that to make a neopet aber ?

 

Did you even read what I wrote? Silly

The answer they gave was either 3 or 24. It's weird. No idea how it could be 3. 24 makes sense now that it's explained. I said 15, because I thought it was 5x3, rather than 6x4. That's where I went wrong. Thanks guys.

 

edit: silly me don't worry, just deleted all the rubbish i wrote

no idea how you could get 3, sorry
