    Multiple conditions for the while loop?

    How do you make multiple conditions for the while loop? Example: loop while the variable a = 1 and the variable b = 2?

    Like this.
    Code:
    while (a==1 && b==2)
    {
       ...
    }
    The loop will continue as long as a is 1 and b is 2.

    To loop while a is 1 or b is 2 or both conditions are met would be
    Code:
    while (a==1 || b==2)
    {
       ...
    }
    There are some tutorials that cover these things at this site.

    If you have a C++ book, 'conditionals' are usually covered with if-statements, so you might look there.

    Or "logical operators", because that's what && and || are.
    All the buzzt!
