The following nested loop structure will execute the inner most statement (x++) how many times?


for(int j = 0; j < 100; j++)

 for(int k = 100; k > 0; k--)

 x++;

a) 100

b) 200

c) 10,000

d) 20,000

e) 1,000,000

Answer: c. The outer loop iterates 100 times. Each time it iterates, the inner loop, and the x++ statement, execute 100 times. Therefore, the statement x++ executes 100*100 = 10,000 times.
