Question

what missing condition will give you the output shown?
numb = 2
while ______:
numb = numb + 3
print(numb)
output: 14
numb > 10
numb < 12
numb > 12
numb < 10

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze initial value

Initial numB = 2.

Step2: Determine increment process

Each iteration, numB is incremented by 3.

Step3: Find number of iterations

Let the number of iterations be $n$. We have the equation $2 + 3n=14$. Solving for $n$:
$3n=14 - 2=12$, so $n = 4$. After 4 iterations, numB becomes 14. The loop should stop when numB reaches 14. So the condition should be such that the loop continues until just before numB exceeds 12.

Answer:

numB < 12
