1234

Working

1st iteration of outer for
x = 1
Inner for loop doesn't execute as y = 1 so the condition y\<x is false
Just a newline is printed to the console due to System.out.println( );

2nd iteration of outer for
x = 2
Inner for loop executes once printing 1 to the console

3rd iteration of outer for
x = 3
Inner for loop executes twice printing 12 to the console

4th iteration of outer for
x = 4
if(x == 4) becomes true inside inner for loop. break is executed, just a newline is printed to the console.

5th iteration of outer for
x = 5
Inner for loop executes 4 times printing 1234 to the console
