Question

So I am learning to code C# I have a question.

int x = 5;
while (x > 0) {
    Console.Write(x);
    x--;
    if (x == 2) {
        x = 5;
    }
}

int x = 5;
while (x > 0) {
    Console.Write(x);
    x--;
    if (x == 2) {
        x = 5;
    }
}

int x = 5;
while (x > 0) {
    Console.Write(x);
    x--;
    if (x == 2) {
        x = 5;
    }
}

int x = 5;
while (x > 0) {
    Console.Write(x);
    x--;
    if (x == 2) {
        x = 5;
    }
}

why would this equal
543543543543543543

opposed to
55555555555555555555555555555

I thought it would be "5555555555" as the console is writing before it minuses the integer

Sure, but after it's written 5, what happens then?

debugging line by line would also help

to see the code flow
