for loop

[halleyc]

hi all

i have been given this for loop

for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
if (i < 5 && i != 2)
cout << 'X';

the question instructs that the segment should be added into a program and that the loop should execute 10 times but also that the loop may not be changed. I do not understand how this loop can be executed 10 times if i am not allowed to change its conditions. Any advice or explanation on this would be greatly appreciated

What is the value of n?

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int n = 10;
    
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
        if (i < 5 && i != 2)
            std::cout << 'X';
    
    
    std::cout << '\n';
    
    return 0;
}

XXX
Program ended with exit code: 0
