I dont get the logic of the 3rd question in this quiz

Can someone explain why the answer is 2.

isnt it that counter = 0 then 0+1 = the new value for counter then print the value of counter : why is 2 instead of 1 what am i missing?

You are missing that the counter += 1; line is within a loop, that means that it will run multiple times until either the condition of the loop becomes false (the condition is counter < 5) or it encounters a break statement.

Since there is a if statement within the loop that checks if counter equals 2 and that if statement contains a break statement the counter ends up equal to 2 before it gets printed, since the print line is outside the loop. If the break statement had not been there then it would have ended up as 5.
