summary
This chapter starts off by going over while statements and how to end loops. It then
spends a big section of this chapter going over the different types of loops, such as control
count and event count that we’ve covered already; It also then introduces EOF-controlled loops
and summing and the differences between how they end. It then moves on to counting using
while statements and how to manipulate the count. It then goes into files and how to extract a
line from a file using loops, and shows good examples of all of these topics. The chapter then
teaches us how to keep track of values; it then goes into loop design and gives a step-by-step
guide on how to handle different problems and what to avoid. It then goes into nested while
loops and provides a good code example, but also a guide similar to the last.
This chapter was very full of information. It expanded my knowledge of while and loops
as a whole. I found all the different types of loops the most interesting part of this chapter, as it
covers a wide range of scenarios in which they could be put to use. This chapter was a quick
read, but there was so much information you didn't want to miss.
For the most part, I enjoyed this chapter. It contained a lot of information, and in the
design loops sections, it would become a lot. With that being said, there was still a lot of
information. It's a part where you need to lock in for this chapter, which is still very good.
