Problem Analysis:
• The loop condition i < N causes the loop to stop before printing N. • This is an off-by-one error commonly seen in loops when the condition is set incorrectly.
public class PrintNumbers {
public static void printNumbers(int N) {
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) { // Corrected loop condition
System.out.print(i + " ");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
printNumbers(5); // Correct Output: 1 2 3 4 5
}
}
Explanation:
• The condition in the for loop is changed from i < N to i <= N, allowing the loop to include the last number N. • This fixes the off-by-one error and ensures that all numbers from 1 to N are printed as expected.
