How many times will the following loop execute? Write the output of the code:

for(int j = 12; j >= 2; j -= 2) {
    if(j % 5 == 0)
        continue;
    System.out.println(j);
}

Loop executes six times.
Output
12
8
6
4
2

Reason

Step 1: Understanding the Loop

• Initialization: j = 12
• Condition: j >= 2 (Loop runs while j is ≥ 2)
• Update: j -= 2 (Decrement j by 2 each iteration)
• if (j % 5 == 0) continue;
• Skips printing if j is divisible by 5.

Step 2: Iterations Breakdown

Step 3: Final Output

12
8
6
4
2
