The following loop will run several times, what will be the largest value of the variable minutes? for(int hours = 1

Confused of this problem. ( sorry newbie) . My first guess would be 360 because it would loop 6 times making hours = 6 before the code stops.. Not sure how the answer is 300.

thanks in advance.

The following loop will run several times, what will be the largest value of the variable minutes?

a, 60 b, 300 c, 360 D, 420

The answer will be 300 because the loop starts from 1 and ends at 5 since 5 less than 6. When the loop is taking the next step of the value of the variable is equal to 6. The program checks 6 < 6, then just out of the loop. Then multiply 5 by 60 and we get 300. (Sorry for my bad english ^_^)
