While Loops

While loops are a useful type of loop that can be used while coding. They can be useful in specific scenarios where for loops would not work. For example, in my create pt project, I used both for loops and while loops in my code. I used while loops in order to create a point system where it would count how many correct answers you had. The while loop would state that while the total score was less than 5 the code would continue to run. If the user correctly answered the question they would gain a point which would show at the bottom of their screen. Having a while loop in this scenario would allow the code to keep running and never stop. This is seen as the while loop would be run forever until the user's score reaches 5 and in that case, the user would be met with an ending screen showing the number of attempts used. For loops are also very important in my project. They are essential due to the fact that a new filtered list is being created when an option for showing countries with less than 10000 total cases is made. This new filtered list is created by using a for loop. The code runs through the data provided and if the country's total case count is less than 10000 the item gets appended to the new list. This new list is then displayed for the user to go through and they can refresh to get more information on other countries with less than 10000 cases. Without these for loops and while loops, my create performance task project would not function properly and would be extremely ineffective in performing its task without these.
