1+1=2
1+2=3
1+3=4
2+2=3
2+3=5
2+4=6
3+3=5

Report of the above results:

The loop used for incrementing the first value is not implemented properly. on every 4th iteration, first value is not treated as appeared.

See the highlighted values. In first highlighted calculation, still it is treating first value as '1' while calculating. and at last one it is treating it as '2' instead of 3.

After doing addition three times using 1, now addition is done using 2.
As soon as this change in step is executed, addition is not done properly in that step.

Similarily is the case when addition using 2 is done thrice, now additoin is done using 3.
As soon as this is changed, additoin is not done properly in that step.

While adding X and Y, the result becomes X+Y-1 for when X=Y

We should also specify where x and y not equals to 1

Interviewer I think you are wrong because you have mentioned when X=Y then it is adding like: X+Y-1. But in case of 1+1=2 it is not adding like X+Y-1, rather it is adding as X+Y. So, ans should be : Except 1+1=2 in all other case it is adding like X+Y-1.
