Fill in the blanks to print "in a loop" 7 times, using the while loop. int x = 1; while (x < = ) {system. out. println("in a loop"); ++; }

int x = 1;

while (x <= 7) {

 System.out.println("in a loop");

 ++x;

}

this should work in java

Explanation:

the ++x increments x, so it works lke this:

1. x is 1, prints the thing, then increments x to 2

2. x is 2, prints the thing, then increments x to 3

3. x is 3, prints the thing, then increments x to 4

4. x is 4, prints the thing, then increments x to 5

5. x is 5, prints the thing, then increments x to 6

6. x is 6, prints the thing, then increments x to 7

7. x is 7, prints the thing, then increments x to 8

8. loop stops because 8 is not <= 7

hope this helps :D

btw this could also be done like this using for loop:

for (int x = 1; x <= 7; ++x) {

   System.out.println("in a loop");

}
