What is the value of balance after the following code is executed?

Question

```
int balance = 10;

while (balance >= 1) {
if (balance < 9)
break;
balance = balance - 9;
}
```
A. -1
B. 0
C. 1
D. 2

Answer 1

C. 1
Before the loop, balance is 10. The loop-continuation-condition is true (10 >= 1). In the first iteration, balance is reduced to 1. Since 1 >= 1 is true, the loop body is executed. Since balance < 9 is true, the break statement is executed to exit the loop. So, balance is 1 after the loop is finished. The correct answer for this question is C.
