[Solved] Analyze the following code and identify the issue:count = 0 while count < 4: if count == 2: continue print(count) count += 1 | Python

Python - Loop Control

Analyze the following code and identify the issue:

count = 0
while count < 4:
    if count == 2:
        continue
    print(count)
    count += 1

AThe code will print numbers 0 to 3 correctly

BThe loop will run infinitely because count is not incremented when count == 2

CSyntax error due to missing colon

DThe continue statement is misplaced and causes a runtime error

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Trace the loop
When count == 2, continue skips the increment step.
Step 2: Effect of skipping increment
Since count is not incremented, it remains 2, causing an infinite loop.
Final Answer:
The loop will run infinitely because count is not incremented when count == 2 -> Option B
Quick Check:
Does count increase on continue? No. Infinite loop? Yes. [OK]

Quick Trick: Increment must not be skipped before continue [OK]
