"apcs-keyword">int sum = "apcs-number">0;

Difficulty: Hard |
Topic: Iteration (break) |
Cycle: 2 (Advanced)
Why This Answer?
The loop adds 1 and 2, then breaks when i is 3. Sum is 3.
Common Mistake
Watch Out!
Including 3 even though the break occurs before the addition.
AP Exam Strategy
When break triggers, the loop stops immediately—no further statements run in that iteration.
