62Consider the following C program:

int main(){
float sum = 0.0, j = 1.0, i = 2.0;
while (i/j > 0.0625){
j = j + j;
sum = sum + i/j;
printf("%f\n", sum);
}
return 0;
}
The number of times the variable sum will be printed, when the above program is executed, is _________________.

Note: Numerical Type question.

Option : A
Explanation :
According to “while” loop,

Initially i = 2.0, j = 1.0
i / j = 2.0 / 1. 0 = 2.0 > 0.0625

j = j + j
j = 2.0
printed sum = 0.0

Second time,
i / j = 1 > 0.0625
j = 4
printed sum = 0.0

Third time,
i / j = 0.5 > 0.0625
j = 8
printed sum = 0.0

Fourth time,
i / j = 0.25 > 0.0625
j = 16
printed sum = 0.0

Fifth time,
i / j = 0.125 > 0.0625
j = 32
printed sum = 0.0

Sixth time,
i / j = 0.0625 = 0.0625
It violates the greater then condition.
This time while loop will not execute.
