I came across a rather annoying bug in this. If you do emails--;, emails -= 1; or emails += -1; (this was rather obvious to me as I know python, java etc. (it also showed ++ in the hint)) in your while loop instead of the emails = emails -1; the step isn’t completed despite doing what was asked in a MORE EFFICIENT way.
This is surprising since this is exactly what i’ve done and it worked like a charm. Could you post your code so we can see what you were doing please?
using System;
namespace WhileLoop
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int emails = 20;
while (emails > 0)
{
emails--;
Console.WriteLine($"we are deleting emails and there is still {emails} left.");
}
Console.WriteLine("INBOX ZERO ACHIEVED!");
}
}
}
Kind of annoyed. This segment introduces the Logical negation operator ! without any kind of explanation. Expects us just to type it into the web page and just go along with it. If I wanted that kind of tutorial I would go to YouTube.
Nothing wrong with my code, but its throwing an error saying my while loop is incorrectly formatted. I checked the diff and its nitpicking the number of Console.WriteLine() calls i think…
using System;
namespace WhileLoop
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int emails = 20;
while(emails > 0) {
Console.WriteLine($"You still have {emails} emails. We will delete one now...");
emails--;
Console.WriteLine($"{emails} remain.");
}
Console.WriteLine("INBOX IS EMPTY!");
}
}
}
