Find the Output: Break exits only inner loop

17Find the output of the following C code (assume #include <stdio.h> and that the code is inside int main(void)):
int i, j, count = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
    for (j = 1; j <= 4; j++) {
        if (i + j > 5)
            break;
        count++;
    }
}
printf("%d", count);
  • Option : A
  • Explanation : The inner loop contributes 4, 3, 2, and 1 successful iterations; break does not exit the outer loop.
