public static void main( String args[] )
{
for(int ii = 0; ii < 3; ii++) {
for(int jj = 3; jj <= 0; jj--) {
if(ii == jj) continue;
System.out.println(ii + " " + jj);
}
}
}
The correct answer the following code is
The program does not print anything.
I thought that each time ii == jj condition is true, it goes to next jj ie jj-- without printing ii and jj. But in other situations where ii is not equal to jj it should print ii & jj. Any clues ?

HI Bobby,
If you take a look at the test condition for the inner loop of the nested for loop, you will realize why nothing is printed.
Perhaps if it is changed to the following

public static void main( String args[] )
{
     for(int ii = 0; ii < 3; ii++) {
         for(int jj = 3; jj > 0; jj--) {
               if(ii == jj) continue;
                System.out.println(ii + " " + jj);
          }
      }
}

The above code probably works as per your expectation.
A suggestion would be to compile and execute the original code to validate your assumptions.
