    The Value of the variable counter will be 3

    Explanation:

    The code snipped given in the question will execute only three times.

    The value of counter will be increased by 1 afer each execution with the initial value of counter set to 0

    The condition while n>0 will hold true at the first iteration when n=6. (counter will be increased to 1) and n is reduced by 2 (new value of n = 4).

    The condition while n>0 will hold true at the second iteration when n=4-2 = 2. (counter will be increased to 2) and n is reduced by 2 (new value of n = 2).

    The condition while n>0 will hold true at the third iteration when n=2-2. (counter will be increased to 3) and n is reduced by 2 (new value of n = 0).

    At the fourth iteration, the condition becomes false as the value of n is now zero and 0 is not greater than 0. So the the condition becomes false with the value of counter = 3
