Answer:
Certainly! Here's the modified code with the loop continuation and variable state table:
```c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i = 1;
while (i <= 4) {
int j = i;
while (j >= 1) {
printf("i = %d, j = %d\\", i, j);
j--;
}
i++;
}
return 0;
}
```
The output of the code will be as follows:
```
i = 1, j = 1
i = 2, j = 2
i = 2, j = 1
i = 3, j = 3
i = 3, j = 2
i = 3, j = 1
i = 4, j = 4
i = 4, j = 3
i = 4, j = 2
i = 4, j = 1
```
Here's the variable state table that illustrates the values of `i` and `j` for each loop evaluation:
```
-------------------------------------
| i | j | Loop Level |
-------------------------------------
| 1 | 1 | j |
| 2 | 2 | j |
| 2 | 1 | j |
| 3 | 3 | j |
| 3 | 2 | j |
| 3 | 1 | j |
| 4 | 4 | j |
| 4 | 3 | j |
| 4 | 2 | j |
| 4 | 1 | j |
-------------------------------------
```
In each iteration of the outer `while` loop, the variable `i` increases by 1. In each iteration of the inner `while` loop, the variable `j` starts with the same value as `i` and decreases by 1 until it reaches 1. The process repeats until `i` reaches 4, resulting in the displayed output and variable state table.
