1.
For-loop wrong variable name
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(j);
Correction: use System.out.println(i);
Output:
CopyEdit
2. Infinite while
java
CopyEdit
int n = 0;
while (n < 3) {
System.out.println(n);
Problem: n never increments → infinite loop
Correction: add n++;
Output:
CopyEdit
0
3. Do-while runs once
java
CopyEdit
int m = 5;
do {
System.out.println(m);
} while (m < 3);
Note: Even though the condition is false initially, body runs once
Output:
CopyEdit
4. Off-by-one in for-loop
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
This is correct: prints 1 through 5
Output:
CopyEdit
1
2
5. While team summation
java
CopyEdit
int sum = 0, x = 1;
while (x <= 10) {
sum += x;
x++;
System.out.println(sum);
Correct
Output:
CopyEdit
55
6. Do-while sum of digits
java
CopyEdit
int num = 123, sum = 0;
do {
sum += num % 10;
num /= 10;
} while (num > 0);
System.out.println(sum);
Correct
Output:
CopyEdit
7. Nested for loops multiplication table (bug: wrong loop limit)
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
System.out.print(i * j + " ");
System.out.println();
Output:
CopyEdit
123
246
369
8. While decrement (bug: mis-initialized)
java
CopyEdit
int c = 5;
while (c > 0) {
System.out.print(c + " ");
c--;
Output:
CopyEdit
54321
9. Do-while with boolean flag
java
CopyEdit
boolean flag = false;
do {
System.out.println("Hello");
} while (flag);
Runs once
Output:
nginx
CopyEdit
Hello
10. For-loop skipping even numbers
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) continue;
System.out.print(i + " ");
Output:
CopyEdit
13579
11. Off-by-one sum (bug: < vs <=)
java
CopyEdit
int s = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
s += i;
System.out.println(s);
Sums 1 to 4
Output:
CopyEdit
10
12. Reverse countdown using while
java
CopyEdit
Output:
CopyEdit
543210
13. Counting down – do-while variant
java
CopyEdit
int r = 3;
do {
System.out.print(r + " ");
r--;
} while (r > 0);
Output:
CopyEdit
321
14. Sum of even up to N
java
CopyEdit
int N = 6, se = 0;
for (int i = 2; i <= N; i += 2) {
se += i;
System.out.println(se);
Output:
cpp
CopyEdit
12 // (2 + 4 + 6)
15. Buggy while loop factorial
java
CopyEdit
int f = 1, k = 1;
while (k <= 5) {
f *= k;
k++;
System.out.println(f);
Correct
Output:
CopyEdit
120
16. Do-while and modulus
java
CopyEdit
int n2 = 2;
do {
System.out.println(n2);
n2 *= 2;
} while (n2 <= 16);
Output:
CopyEdit
4
8
16
17. For-loop skipping numbers (bug: continue logic)
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i == 3) continue;
System.out.print(i + " ");
Output:
CopyEdit
1245
18. While loop reading until negative
java
CopyEdit
int[] arr = {1, 3, 5, -1, 7};
int idx = 0;
while (idx < arr.length && arr[idx] >= 0) {
System.out.print(arr[idx] + " ");
idx++;
Stops at –1
Output:
CopyEdit
135
19. Do-while array sum example
java
CopyEdit
int[] a = {2, 4, 6};
int i = 0, total = 0;
do {
total += a[i];
i++;
} while (i < a.length);
System.out.println(total);
Output:
CopyEdit
12
20. For loop range bug (incorrect increment)
java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i += 3) {
System.out.print(i + " ");
Output:
CopyEdit
0369
21. While loop conditional inside
java
CopyEdit
int x2 = 1;
while (x2 <= 10) {
if (x2 == 7) break;
System.out.print(x2 + " ");
x2++;
Output:
CopyEdit
123456
22. Do-while break scenario
java
CopyEdit
int y = 1;
do {
if (y == 3) break;
System.out.print(y + " ");
y++;
} while (y <= 5);
Output:
CopyEdit
12
23. For with empty body bug
java
CopyEdit
int sum2 = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++);
sum2 += 10;
System.out.println(sum2);
Bug: semicolon ends loop → executes sum2 += 10 once
Output:
CopyEdit
10
24. While with post-increment bug
java
CopyEdit
int p = 0;
while (p++ < 3) {
System.out.print(p + " ");
Evaluate:
o check p++<3 (uses old p), then increment
o inside prints new p
Output:
CopyEdit
123
25. Do-while with pre-decrement
java
CopyEdit
int z = 4;
do {
System.out.print(z-- + " ");
} while (--z > 0);
Let’s simulate:
o first print 4, z becomes 3
o --z makes it 2 → >0 → loop
o print 2, then z– gives 1
o --z makes 0 → not >0 → end
Output:
CopyEdit
42
