How many times is the following loop executed? FOR N = 8 TO 3 STEP 2

1.	How many times is the following loop executed? FOR N = 8 TO 3 STEP 2 PRINT N NEXT N
Answer» When i = 0: It’s true because 0 < 4. HENCE, the LOOP executes 1 time. The value of i then increments and is increased by one, hence: Now, i = 1: This is again true because 1 < 4 Hence, loop executes 2 times. The value of i then increments again and is increased again by 1. So now, i = 2: This is true again because 2 < 4 Hence, the loop executes 3 times. Now, the value of i increments, and becomes 3. Now, i = 3: This is true because 3 < 4 Hence, the loop executes for 4 times. The value of i again is incremented and it changes into 4. But when i = 4, 4 < 4 is not true. Thus, the construct comes out of the loop. Hence, the loop executes 4 times. THANKS!Explanation:
