Thread: Help on while loop

Hi so I'm new to programming and learning C programming. Im currently working on a while loop to print statements based on an input from the user. I got the input but stuck on an infinite loop of the printed material. How can i limit the loop to the number that was acquired from the user?

Code:

#define_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include<stdio.h>




int main() {
	int Input;
	printf("Type in a number from 1-20\n");
	scanf(" %d", &Input);

	while (Input) {


		printf("\nGo Spartans\n");
		printf("Time to start winning\n"); 

	}


return 0;


}

so would i apply the addition or subtraction to the condition?

Code:

while (Input-1){
}

Or how would I apply the logic in terms of the code?

Normally the condition is a Boolean expression like Input > 0 and you would do something to Input between the curly braces.

or
Input -= 1
or
Input--

Take your pick.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>




int main() {
        int Input;
        printf("Type in a number from 1-20\n");
        scanf(" %d", &Input);


        while (Input >= 1) {
                Input--;
                printf("\nGo Spartans\n");
                printf("Time to start winning\n");
        }




return 0;
