Re: Case and loop

How far have you gotten so far on this?

Post a code snippet, and maybe we can give you some pointers on how to proceed. When you say you "have to", you still do kind of sound like you were assigned this task...

Re: Case and loop

You didn't say what language it is...
This should really be in your manual though, as it's pretty basic stuff. Otherwise, I'd recommend finding a better one
