This was the code and solution presented to me. Can anyone understand it and explain it to me please ? I have looked at it but cannot see how it was derived and why the correct solution was printed. Thanks alot !

       This sounds like a homework problem for a class.  I don't know 
how this list treats such questions, but I suspect answering such 
questions may be discouraged.


       Hint:  Read the documentation on "while" and then trace the 
iterations.
