Explanation:

Given

The above code segment

What the loop does and the result

We have:

$new = 0$ --- initialize new to 0

$i = 3; i \le 5; i++$ --- The loop condition;

i.e. the loop will be repeated 3 times (when i = 3, 4 and 5)

$new = new + 1$ --- For each increment of i, new is incremented by 1

So, the value of new is:

i = 3: new = 0 + 1 = 1

i = 4: new = 1 + 1 = 2

i = 5: new = 2 + 1 = 3
