Cout not printing in for loop

[clerkburton]

I cant seem to print int x within the for loop. Can anyone tell me why is cout not working inside a for loop?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{
	for (int x = 5; x < 5; x++)
	{
		cout << x << endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

It's not working because x is never less than 5.

How many times do you think the loop is going to execute?
Hint: Never. If x starts at 5, the termination condition is never true.
