iterations = 0
done = False
while not done and iterations < 5:
    iterations += 1
    if iterations == 3:
        done = True
print(iterations)
```

🔮 Predict the output

Read the code carefully

iterations = 0
done = False
while not done and iterations < 5:
    iterations += 1
    if iterations == 3:
        done = True
print(iterations)
