Default Assignment 6 - Loops - 07-28-2015, 01:59 PM

I recently completed this one. We had to make a character that sang the 99 bottles of pop song all the way down to 0. We were supposed to use a 'While' statement however I could not get that to work so I didn't use it and accomplished the same goal. If you did yours with the 'While' statement, I would like to know how you did it.

While counter > 0
or
While counter >= 0
..sing
..dec the counter

I'm also curious how you did it without a while statement. You're quite creative.

My solution:

I used a loop with a counter that incremented by 1 up to (but not including) 100 times

Do all your singing stuff

stuff to do after the song has ended.

When you get to 1 it will sing about one bottle of soda and decrement ndx to 0 at which point the while loop will exit
Note: for testing I would make ndx=3 and make sure everything works then change it to 99 before you submit it.
