C - Loops

int i = 3;
do {
    printf("%d ", i);
    i--;
} while (i > 0);

A1 2 3

B2 1 0

C3 2 1 0

D3 2 1

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Trace the loop iterations
Initially, i = 3. The loop prints i, then decrements i by 1. It repeats while i > 0.
Step 2: List printed values
First iteration: prints 3, i becomes 2
Second iteration: prints 2, i becomes 1
Third iteration: prints 1, i becomes 0
Loop stops because i is not > 0.
Final Answer:
3 2 1 -> Option D
Quick Check:
Prints 3 down to 1 = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Count printed values before condition fails [OK]
