Ruby - Loops and Iteration

What will be the output of this Ruby code?

count = 1
loop do
  puts count
  break if count >= 3
  count += 1
end

AInfinite loop printing 1

B1 2

C1 2 3 4

D1 2 3

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Trace the loop iterations
First iteration: count=1, prints 1, count < 3 so continue.
Second iteration: count=2, prints 2, count < 3 so continue.
Third iteration: count=3, prints 3, break if count >= 3 triggers break after printing.
Step 2: Check output sequence
Loop prints 1, then 2, then 3 and breaks immediately after printing 3.
Final Answer:
1 2 3 -> Option D
Quick Check:
Loop prints until break condition met = 1 2 3 [OK]

Quick Trick: break stops loop after printing current count [OK]
