Consider the program segment:

int p = 0;
for(p = 4; p > 0; p -= 2);
System.out.print(p);
System.out.println(p);

The above statement will display:

1. 42
2. 4200
3. 0
   0
4. 00

00

Reason

1. Initialization: int p = 0;

• This line declares an integer variable p and initializes it to 0.

2. For Loop: for(p = 4; p > 0; p -= 2);

• p = 4 → loop starts with p assigned the value 4.
• Condition: p > 0 is true (since 4 > 0).
• The semicolon (;) at the end means the loop body is empty and does nothing.
• Update: p -= 2 decreases p by 2.
• Next value of p = 2 → still > 0, so the loop continues.
• Decrease again: p -= 2 → p = 0 → now the condition p > 0 is false, loop stops.

3. After the Loop: p is now 0.

4. Output Statements:

• System.out.print(p); prints 0 without moving to the next line.
• System.out.println(p); prints 0 and moves to the next line.
