Question

This program (in C) doesn’t output what I’d expect:

int main()
{
    int i, j ;
    for ( i = 1 ; i <= 2 ; i++ )
    {
        for ( j = 1 ; j <= 2 ; j++ )
        {
            if ( i == j )
                continue ;
            printf ( "\n%d %d\n", i, j ) ;
        }
    }
}

I think it should be

1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3 

But the program outputs

1 2
2 1

Why is this?

Answer 1

Number 3 cannot be ever reached by the loops’ indices.
