Simple C++ Question
I need help understanding something simple.
How many times does the following loop execute, and what is its output ?
count = 1;
while ( count<= 12)
{
cout << count << endl;
cout++;
}
If someone could explain this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you !

ostream has no operator++ defined.
Surely OP meant to write
Would this make more sense, OP:
The loop is going from count = 1 through 12. Or 1 to 13. Either way you word, it will fail on count = 13.
Count

10
11
12 <-- Last output.
13 <-- Fails here. Exits loop.
