Final answer:

The following while loop will repeat 9 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following while loop will repeat 9 times.

  1. Initially, the variable flipCount is assigned the value of 1.
  2. The condition flipCount < 10 is checked. Since 1 is less than 10, the loop body is executed.
  3. The statement flipCount++ increments the value of flipCount by 1. Now, the value of flipCount becomes 2.
  4. The condition is checked again. Now, 2 is still less than 10, so the loop body is executed again.
  5. This process repeats until the value of flipCount is 9.
  6. When flipCount becomes 9, the condition flipCount < 10 is still true, so the loop body is executed again.
  7. After the execution of the loop body, flipCount++ increments the value of flipCount to 10.
  8. Now, the condition flipCount < 10 is false, so the loop terminates and does not execute the loop body again.
