Consider the nested loops below. What will be the output?

for(int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
    for(int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
        if(j == 2) {
            break;
        }
        printf("%d%d ", i, j);
    }
}

C11 12 13 21 22 23 31 32 33

D11 12 21 22 31 32

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze inner loop behavior with break
Inner loop runs j=1 to 3, but breaks when j==2, so only j=1 prints.
Step 2: Trace all iterations
For i=1, prints 11; i=2 prints 21; i=3 prints 31; each inner loop stops after j=1.
Final Answer:
11 21 31 -> Option B
Quick Check:
Break stops inner loop at j=2, prints only j=1 per i [OK]

Quick Trick: Break stops inner loop early, only first inner print per outer loop [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming inner loop prints all j values
Confusing break effect on outer loop
Including j=2 prints
