about primitive

Hi...
I am confused with the output of the following method output
any one explain to me



What will happen when you invoke the following method?

 
void infiniteLoop ( ) {
      byte b = 1 ;
        while ( ++b > 0 ) ;
        System . out . println ( " Welcome to Java " ) ;
}

Options :

a . The loop never ends ( infinite loop ) .
b . Prints " Welcome to Java " to the console
c . Compilation error at line 5. ++ operator should not be used for byte type variables.
d . Prints nothing but terminates after some time


Ans given as b


what happens when b reaches maximum value?

thanks in advance.

The print statements not in the while loop. And I byte will reset from 127 to -128 because the the byte will have a leading 1 now.
