Will the following program terminate?

Question

int balance = 10;

while (true) {
if (balance < 9)
continue;
balance = balance - 9;
}
a. Yes
b. No

Answer 1

b Before the loop, balance is 10 . In the loop, balance becomes 1 . The loop-continuation-condition is always true. When balance < 9 is true, the continue statement is executed to skip the rest statement in the iteration. So the loop continues in an infinite loop. So, the correct answer is B.
