CHAPTER 22 — Sentinel Controlled Loops

Chapter Topics:

The previous chapters have discussed loops in general, and counting loops in particular. The same statements that are used to build counting loops are used to build all other kinds of loops. This chapter looks at a kind of loop called a sentinel controlled loop, where the loop ends when a particular value occurs..


QUESTION 1:
