Looping Statements Doesn’t loop?

Did you know that looping statements doesn’t loop the whole if-else statement if you put an if-else statement in the looping statement? That’s right. Looping statements only goes through the if-else statements once. Once the looping statement activates the statements inside the if-else statement, the looping statement will only loop the statement inside the if-else statement. That is why it is not recommendable to use if-else statement inside a looping statement, such as do-while statements, while statements, and for statements. The only thing I recommend for you to use a switch statement. Looping statements reads the whole switch statement, possibly because switch statements requires a specific value for a condition. I don’t really know, but it works. Don’t worry. Switch statement also has a “Default” statement inside it that works just like the “else” statement in the if-else statement. The only disadvantage is that you won’t be able to set comparisons like greater than (») or less than («).
