apex time limit exceeded error

Hello I'm running this program in execute anonymous window in dev console and it's giving apex time limit exceeded error.
my code - 

Integer count = 5;
Integer i = 0;
Integer sum=0;

while(i<count){
    sum = sum +i;
}
i++;
system.debug(sum);

I'm unable to figure out the issue, Please help.

You are incrementing the loop variable(i) outside of while loop so each time it checks for i<count it will always be less than count.
modify the code as below

Integer count = 5;
Integer i = 0;
Integer sum=0;

while(i<count){
    sum = sum +i;
    i++;
}

system.debug(sum);

Hi Abhishek,

Ideally i++ should be inside the While Loop I guess. as below. 
Integer count = 5;
Integer i = 0;
Integer sum=0;

while(i<count){
    sum = sum +i;
    i++;
}
system.debug('value of count'+sum);

Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,
