How many times does the following code fragment display "Hi"?
i = 10
while i >= 0 :
  print("Hi")
  i = i -  1

To assess how many times the code prints "Hi", we need to examine the loop behavior carefully.
Option 1: "10 times". This would be the count if the loop ran from i = 10 down to i = 1, stopping before i reaches 0. However, the condition is i >= 0, so i will also take the value 0 and execute one more iteration.
Option 2: "9 times". This would occur if the loop started at a value like 9 and continued down to 1, or if some iterations were skipped. But here we start at 10 and include 0, so more than 9 iterations occur.
Option 3: "12 times". This would imply either counting one extra iteration beyond reaching 0 or misinterpreting the decrement. Since the loop stops when i becomes -1, it does not exceed 11 iterations; 12 would require an extra step that does not happen.
Option 4: "11 times". This aligns with the actual progression: i starts at 10 and, for each iteration, prints and then decreases i by 1. The values of i during the loop are 10, 9, 8, ..., 1, 0 — a total of 11 distinct values, hence 11 prints.
In summary, the loop condition i >= 0 ensures inclusion of i = 0, and the sequence from 10 down to 0 contains 11 numbers. Therefore, option 4 correctly matches the observed behavior.
