The While Loop is an excellent way of outputting data until reaching a specific point. It's used by running instructions until a condition is no longer true. Basically, it's going to keep running the same set of instructions until the specified condition is modified so as to be false, to reiterate. Sometimes, While Loops can create infinite loops. Usually, While Loops have an instruction at the end of the instruction set which modifies (usually increments) a counter variable being used in the condition ...

It's to my understanding that the Switch Statement is used as a means of saving time. If you want to test multiple conditions, but are looking for a more efficient way of doing things than using the If or Else If Statements, the Switch Statement is the way to go.

I'm all for assistance - that's ...
