[Solved] Identify the error in this Swift repeat-while loop code:var x = 5 repeat { print(x) x += 1 } while x | Swift

Swift - Loops

Identify the error in this Swift repeat-while loop code:

var x = 5
repeat {
    print(x)
    x += 1
} while x < 5

ANo error; the loop runs exactly once.

BThe loop will never run because condition is false initially.

CSyntax error: missing parentheses around condition.

DThe loop will run infinitely because x keeps increasing.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze loop condition and variable change
Initial x is 5. The loop runs once before checking condition. Inside loop, x increases by 1 each time.
Step 2: Check condition after first iteration
After first iteration, x becomes 6. Condition is x < 5, which is false, so loop should stop. But since x increases, if condition was true, it would never stop. Here, it stops after one iteration.
Step 3: Re-examine the condition logic
Actually, since x starts at 5, condition x < 5 is false, so loop runs once then stops. No infinite loop.
Final Answer:
No error; the loop runs exactly once. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Loop runs once then stops [OK]

Quick Trick: Check variable change and condition carefully to avoid infinite loops [OK]
