I'm a god.
int count = 0;
while (count < 10)
{
count = count + 1;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
count = count - 1;
}
MessageBox.Show("The answer is " + count);

Better way to write it:
You must login or register to view this content.
It starts at value 0.
It increments to the value 10. (9 is less than 10 so increments. 10 is not less than 10 so count = 10).
It then runs through the for loop 5 times (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) while subtracting 1 from count.
0,1,2,3,4, = 5 times
10 - 5 = 5
Simple as that.

You get the answer 5 because 4 is less than 5 therefore the increment loop adds on one but the other loops stops taking 1 off because 5 is not less than 5...
4 < 5
count = count + 1
5 /= <5
"the answer is" + count (which is now 5)
Does this help any...?

Read the comments I added.
In short, the first loop (while) sets the value of count to 10 and the second loop (for) decreases the value by 5

// Declares int count and sets it value to 0
int count = 0;
// Loops while count is less than 10
while (count < 10)
{
// Adds 1 to count on each loop (Will end with 10)
count = count + 1;
}
// Declares int i, sets its value to 0, loops while i is less than 5 and adds 1 to i on each loop
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
// Decreases value of count by 1 on each loop (loops 5 times = output is 10 - 5)
count = count - 1;
}
// Shows message box with the end value (5).
MessageBox.Show("The answer is " + count);

you probably already solved this.. but here is cleaner code.
int count = 0;
while (count < 10)
count++;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
count--;
MessageBox.Show("The answer is " + count);
